It may also be used to prevent infections in patients undergoing certain surgical procedures. Ceftriaxone 500 mg is typically administered via injection into a muscle or vein, depending on the type and severity of the infection being treated.

However, in rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing), severe diarrhea (with or without blood), liver or kidney problems, or changes in blood cell counts.

It is particularly effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. The dosage and duration of treatment with Ceftriaxone 500 mg will vary depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and medical history. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen carefully and to complete the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
