ceftriaxone

Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by stopping the bacteria from building their cell walls, which leads to their destruction. Ceftriaxone is commonly used for infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and meningitis. It is usually given as an injection by a healthcare provider. Because it targets bacteria specifically, it does not work against viruses like the common cold. It’s important to complete the full treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
