Antibiotic

This is an antibiotic drug ie. Ceftriaxone 2000 mg.

Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall, preventing the formation of a stable peptidoglycan layer. Without this stable layer, the bacterial cell wall becomes weak and eventually ruptures, leading to the death of the bacterium.

Ceftriaxone 2000 mg is a sterile powder for injection that is packaged in a single vial. The vial is made of glass and is sealed with a rubber stopper and an aluminum seal. Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly by a healthcare professional. The recommended dosage is typically 1-2 g administered once a day, but may vary depending on the individual case and the specific infection being treated. It is important to follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional and to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the most effective results.

Warning : It is important to note that antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by a healthcare professional and should be taken as directed. Misuse or overuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can make future infections harder to treat.
