What it is

Ceftriavis for is a brand of ceftriaxone, a cephalosporin antibiotic that fights bacterial infections.

What it's used for

Ceftriavis for is used to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Before starting treatment, appropriate samples should be taken to identify the germ and check if it responds to this medicine.

How it's taken

Ceftriavis for is given as an injection into a vein (intravenous) or into a muscle (intramuscular). It is typically administered by a healthcare professional. For intravenous use, the infusion is given over about 30 minutes. Do not mix ceftriaxone with calcium-containing solutions such as Ringer's or Hartmann's solution because a precipitate can form.

Common side effects

Common side effects include pain, hardness, or tenderness at the injection site. When given into a vein, inflammation of the vein (phlebitis) occurs in less than 1% of people. Other injection-site reactions such as warmth or tightness may happen less often.

Important cautions

Ceftriavis for should not be used in anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction to ceftriaxone, other cephalosporins, or any ingredient in the product. People with a history of allergy to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics may have a higher risk of allergic reactions. It is also contraindicated in premature babies up to a postmenstrual age of 41 weeks. Always tell your doctor about any allergies before receiving this medicine.
