Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic indicated for neurologic complications, carditis, arthritis, and Gram-negative infections including meningitis and gonorrhea. It has a mechanism of action that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and works by binding to enzymes involved in cell division. Common adverse reactions include pain, induration, phlebitis, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, and leucopenia. Nursing considerations include assessing for allergies, monitoring signs of infection and potential side effects, obtaining cultures before treatment, and monitoring patient's renal, hepatic and hematologic functions.
