Inocef Iv SpecificationRequires Prescription (YES/NO)YesGenericsCeftriaxone SodiumUsed ForBacterial InfectionHow it worksCeftriaxone works by inhibiting the mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. The beta-lactam moiety of Ceftriaxone binds to carboxypeptidases, endopeptidases, and transpeptidases in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. These enzymes are involved in cell-wall synthesis and cell division. By binding to these enzymes, Ceftriaxone results in the formation of defective cell walls and cell death.Inocef Iv Usage And SafetyDosageCeftriaxone SodiumSide EffectsHypersensitivity reactions such as allergic skin reactions and anaphy lactic reactions, secondary infections with yeast, fungi or resistant organisms as well as changes in blood cell counts.Mycosis of the genital tract, neutropenia, leucopenia, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, anaemia (including haemolytic anaemia), slight prolongation of prothrombin time, anaphy lactic (e.g. bronchospasm) and anaphy lactoid reactions, headache, dizziness, Increase in serum liver enzymes (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase), rigors and pyrexia.Drug InteractionsCalcium containing IV solutions , oral hormonal contraceptives.IndicationIt is indicated for the treatment of the following infections due to susceptible organisms.
