Ceftriaxone for Joint Infection Reviews
"I was bitten by my cat and ended up in the hospital for 6 days with an infection in the wound. I was put on ceftriazone through IV. I was then sent home with a PICC line and I was giving myself this medicine intravenously for 15 more days. I suffered through some side effects and now I have to get treated for Clostridium difficile which is caused by long term IV antibiotic treatment. The jury is still out on how effective it is."
Rocephin (ceftriaxone) "Major gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and diarrhea"
Rocephin (ceftriaxone) "This shot is the only shot that helps me I don't do good with pills. I think it's awesome."
