About Ceftriaxone
Ceftriaxone is a powerful injectable antibiotic belonging to the third-generation cephalosporin class. It works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to break apart and die. Ceftriaxone has an exceptionally broad spectrum of activity, covering a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and is one of the most important antibiotics used in hospital settings across Nigeria. It is administered either as an intramuscular (IM) injection or as an intravenous (IV) infusion, and one of its key advantages is once-daily dosing — a single dose remains effective in the body for 24 hours, simplifying treatment in busy Nigerian hospitals and clinics.
