Understanding Ceftriaxone: Your Broad-Spectrum Infection Shield
Ceftriaxone is a powerful third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic trusted by doctors worldwide to treat serious bacterial infections. Listed as an essential medicine in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition and classified by WHO as both an "ACCESS and WATCH" antibiotic, this injectable medication is your go-to solution when infections require hospital-grade treatment.
How Ceftriaxone Works (Simple Explanation)
Think of bacteria as invaders building protective walls around their colonies. Ceftriaxone acts like a "wall-buster"—it destroys the bacterial cell walls, causing the infection to collapse from within. Because it's a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it can fight many different types of bacteria at once, including:
- Respiratory infections: Pneumonia, severe bronchitis, and lung infections
- Urinary tract infections: Complicated UTIs and kidney infections
- Skin & soft tissue infections: Severe wounds, abscesses, and post-surgical infections
- Bone & joint infections: Osteomyelitis and septic arthritis
- Meningitis: Life-threatening brain and spinal cord infections
- Intra-abdominal infections: Appendicitis complications, peritonitis
- Septicemia: Bloodstream infections (bacterial sepsis)
- Gonorrhea: Single-dose treatment for uncomplicated cases
