What is Oframax Injection (Ceftriaxone) used for?

Oframax Injection (Ceftriaxone) is an injectable antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections that may be severe or life threatening. The medication destroys or slows the reproduction of bacteria cells so that the immune system may eliminate the infection. It is normally prescribed to treat pneumonia, gonorrhea, skin infections, meningitis, soft tissues infections, or to prevent bacterial infections following surgery. Your physician may also use this medication to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Oframax Injection (Ceftriaxone)?

Oframax Injection (Ceftriaxone) should be injected by your physician or a fully trained health care professional. The correct dosage and frequency of administration will depend on the condition being treated, your current health, and the severity of your symptoms. If you are required to perform your own injection make sure you are fully instructed in the correct procedure by your physician. Sterilize the injection site and needle before each application. Collect the prescribed dosage of solution, insert the syringe into the muscle or vein, and press the plunger slowly allowing the medication to disperse. Always observe the solution prior to each use to ensure it is not cloudy or discolored as this may indicate contamination. Do not stop using the medication before being instructed to do so, even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your pharmacist or physician any questions you have about the medication to make sure you are using it correctly.
