Ceftriaxone Sodium
Used For
Bacterial Infection
How it works
Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting the mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. The beta-lactam moiety of Ceftriaxone binds to carboxypeptidases, endopeptidases, and transpeptidases in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. These enzymes are involved in cell-wall synthesis and cell division. By binding to these enzymes, Ceftriaxone results in the formation of defective cell walls and cell death.
USAGE AND SAFETY

WARNINGS
Warning 1
An immune mediated hemolytic anemia has been observed in patients receiving cephalosporin class antibacterials including Ceftriaxone.
Warning 2
Patients with impaired vitamin K synthesis or low vitamin K stores (e.g, chronic hepatic disease and malnutrition) may require monitoring of prothrombin time during Ceftriaxone treatment. Vitamin K administration (10 mg weekly) may be necessary if the prothrombin time is prolonged before or during therapy.
