What Experts Say

Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic that stops bacteria from forming a working cell wall, which causes the bacteria to break apart and die. Its broad spectrum activity makes it useful when the exact bacteria causing an infection is not yet identified and treatment cannot wait.

Because of its long half life, ceftriaxone can usually be given just once a day, which is convenient for both hospital staff and patients compared to antibiotics that need multiple daily doses. Treatment duration depends on the site and severity of the infection being treated and how the patient responds.

It should not be mixed with calcium containing intravenous fluids, particularly in newborns, due to a rare but serious risk of crystal formation in the lungs and kidneys. People with a history of severe penicillin allergy should inform their doctor, since a small risk of cross reaction exists.
