Ceftriaxone Injection is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic administered intravenously or intramuscularly, distinguishing it from oral antibiotics like amoxicillin or azithromycin. Unlike narrower-spectrum antibiotics, ceftriaxone injection targets a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for severe infections such as meningitis, pneumonia, and sepsis. Its long half-life allows once- or twice-daily dosing, unlike antibiotics requiring frequent administration. Ceftriaxone Injection bypasses gastrointestinal absorption issues, ensuring rapid, reliable blood levels, which oral antibiotics may not achieve in critical cases. However, it requires medical supervision due to potential side effects like allergic reactions or injection-site irritation, unlike simpler oral regimens.
