Description

Ceftriaxone 500mg SDV is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that is the generic equivalent of Rocephin®. It is commonly used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and meningitis. Its effectiveness against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria makes it a versatile option in clinical settings.

The mechanism of action of ceftriaxone involves inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This action disrupts the structural integrity of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and eventual bacterial death. Its long half-life allows for once-daily dosing, simplifying administration and improving patient compliance.

Ceftriaxone 500mg SDV is supplied in a single-dose vial for intramuscular or intravenous administration. The sterile formulation ensures safety and efficacy, making it a trusted choice for treating severe infections. It is often reconstituted with an appropriate diluent before administration, depending on the route of delivery.
