What Experts Say
Ceftriaxone works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall, which causes the bacteria to break apart. Its wide coverage against gram positive and gram negative bacteria makes the 500mg strength a common choice for moderate infections that need injectable treatment rather than oral tablets.
This injection can be given into a muscle or vein, and its long acting nature means most patients need only one dose a day. Doctors in Pakistan often turn to it for typhoid fever, since resistance to some oral antibiotics has become more common in recent years.
As with all cephalosporins, a history of penicillin allergy should be discussed with the doctor before the first dose because cross reactivity is possible. Patients are also monitored for injection site discomfort and, rarely, gallbladder related side effects with repeated use.
