Bacteria without a protective cell wall will quickly be destroyed by macrophages or neutrophils in the body. Similar to antibiotics of the Beta - Lactam group, Ceftriaxone is active against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, especially stable against most beta-lactamase-producing bacteria (Penicillinase and Cephalosporinase).

Newborns: Use a dose of 50 mg/kg/day.
Acute otitis media: Intravenous dose 50mg/kg, not more than 1g Other subjects:
People with combined renal and hepatic impairment: Adjust dose based on creatinine clearance. Creatinine clearance less than 10ml/min: The maximum dose should not exceed 2g/24 hours. Patients on hemodialysis: Intramuscularly or intravenously, a dose of 2g is given at the end of dialysis to maintain effective drug concentrations until the following dialysis period. normal: No dose adjustment necessary 4.2.
