Ceftrastar Injection is used to treat bacterial infections of the brain, lungs, middle ear, abdomen, urinary tract, kidneys, bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, blood, heart, chest, lime disease (caused by tick bites), and gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Ceftrastar Injection contains 'Ceftriaxone', which works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, thereby killing the bacteria. Thus, Ceftrastar Injection helps in treating bacterial infection.

In some cases, Ceftrastar Injection may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, changes in results of blood and liver tests, and abnormalities (increase/decrease) in the number of white blood cells and platelets. Although not everybody experiences these side effects, if they occur, consult your doctor.

Talk to your doctor before taking Ceftrastar Injection if you have/had received calcium-containing products recently, had diarrhoea after taking antibiotics, inflammation of the bowel, kidney stones, or any other illness. Do not take antacids along with Ceftrastar Injection; maintain a gap of 2-3 hours between both. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ceftrastar Injection may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side effects.

Ceftrastar Injection belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called cephalosporins used to treat bacterial infections of the brain, lungs, middle ear, abdomen, urinary tract, kidneys, bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, blood, heart, chest, lime disease (caused by tick bites), and gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease). Ceftrastar Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, aerobic and some anaerobic bacteria. Ceftrastar Injection works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections.
