Rocephin (ceftriaxone) prescription available online 

Bacterial infections

Rocephin is a calcium containing medicine that is classified among the cephalosporin antibiotics class. Certain lab tests may be required before these prescription drugs are provided to the patient. A ceftriaxone injection is usually given at the doctor's office as part of antibiotic treatment. It is very uncommon to find resistance to these antibiotics. In cases where resistance is noted, it is usually related to penicillin binding proteins.

Rocephin is not meant for prolonged or repeated periods of treatment. This may cause an increased risk of antibiotic resistance, possible drug interactions, and serious side-effects. Very serious side effects can occur when long-term use leads to resistance, which can cause complicated urinary tract infections and other bacterial infections to occur in the patient's body.

The dosage of this medication is given in mg/ml and largely depends on factors like the patient's current condition, the increased risk factors they may face for adverse effects, and their age.

Some bacterial infections that are sometimes treated with and intramuscular injection or administered intravenously using Rocephin include:

• Bacterial meningitis

• Pelvic inflammatory disease

• Otitis media (ear infections)

• Prosthetic joint infection

• Pneumonia

• E.coli infections

If the patient is advised to use the injectable solution at home, then they need to ensure they know how to discard medical supplies safely. The patient will also be educated on the preparation and usage instructions. This ensures they understand how to safely use the needles and Rocephin vials. A local waste disposal company can be used when throwing away the used needles.

Rocephin has some common side effects. They may include:

• Diarrhea

• Rashes

• Lump at the injection site

• Vaginal discharge

• Vaginal itching

Some people may develop symptoms associated with blood cell disorder. It is important to look out for these symptoms and to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience them. Certain lab tests may be done in order to confirm whether you experience a blood cell disorder as a complication of the antibiotic treatment.

Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

• Severe abdominal pain

• Diarrhea

• Blood in stool

• Severe nausea and vomiting

• Yellow skin

• Dark urine

• Severe hypersensitivity reactions

• Kidney problems

• Bladder problems

• Breathing problems

Patients should also note that kidney function tests and liver function tests may show abnormal results while they use the medication.

You should call your doctor if you notice any of these side effects, or if you develop any other new or concerning symptoms. Discard medical supplies safely and do not reuse a needle more than once. This may cause problems with the injection site or inject more microorganisms into your body.

Apart from these, patients also need to look out for allergic reactions. When there are allergic reactions following the use of ceftriaxone sodium, the patient may experience trouble breathing, hives, and other adverse effects. Very serious side effects of an allergic reaction can cause serious symptoms that require immediate medical attention.

Mild bacterial infection

Not every bacterial infection is the same in terms of severity. Sometimes, intramuscular ceftriaxone may produce too many risks compared to the severity of the condition. If you only have a mild infection, then your doctor could suggest the use of another antibiotic - often one with a lower side effect profile. A milder antibiotic may also be used initially before intravenous doses of ceftriaxone solutions are provided.
