Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, renowned for its broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to bacterial cell death. Ceftriaxone exhibits excellent activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it an effective treatment for a wide range of bacterial infections in animals.
Ceftriaxone is stable in the presence of β-lactamases, and it is effective against a variety of resistant bacterial strains. Its long half-life allows for convenient once-daily dosing, making it particularly suitable for veterinary applications.
Indications: Ceftriaxone Sodium 3000mg Veterinary Injection is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections in animals caused by susceptible organisms, including:
Respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis)

Indications: Ceftriaxone Sodium 3000mg Veterinary Injection is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections in animals caused by susceptible organisms, including:
Respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis)
Urinary tract infections (including cystitis and pyelonephritis)
Soft tissue infections (such as abscesses and wound infections)
Bone and joint infections (e.g., osteomyelitis, septic arthritis)
Intra-abdominal infections (e.g., peritonitis)
Systemic infections (e.g., septicemia)
This injection is used in a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and livestock, and is particularly useful when treating infections that require high doses or when other antibiotics have failed due to resistance.
Dosage and Administration:
For Dogs and Cats:
Administer intramuscularly or intravenously.
Typical dosage: 20-40 mg/kg body weight once daily.
The treatment duration generally ranges from 5 to 10 days, depending on the severity of the infection and the animal's response to therapy. The dosage and treatment duration should be adjusted by a veterinarian based on clinical condition.
For Livestock:
The dosage for livestock should be determined by the attending veterinarian, considering the species, weight, and severity of the infection. It is typically administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection.
Contraindications:
Do not administer to animals with a known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins, penicillins, or other β-lactam antibiotics.
Caution should be exercised in animals with pre-existing renal or hepatic impairment, as dose adjustments may be required.
Warnings:
For Veterinary Use Only: This product is not intended for animals intended for human consumption.
Overdose or improper administration may result in adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset, neurological symptoms, or renal issues.
Always consult a veterinarian before use to ensure proper dosage, particularly in animals with compromised organ function.
Side Effects:
Common Side Effects:
Diarrhea, vomiting, or decreased appetite.
Swelling or pain at the injection site.
Rare or Severe Side Effects:
Allergic reactions (e.g., skin rashes, fever, difficulty breathing) which may require discontinuation of treatment.
Blood abnormalities, such as a decrease in white blood cells (leukopenia) or platelets (thrombocytopenia).
Liver enzyme changes or renal dysfunction, particularly in animals with existing kidney or liver conditions.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
Do not freeze. Use the product within the recommended period after opening.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Precautions:
Full course of treatment should be completed to avoid the development of antibiotic resistance.
Regular monitoring is recommended for animals with existing renal or hepatic conditions.
This medication should be used under veterinary supervision to prevent misuse or overuse, which could lead to resistance.
