Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, a crucial process in the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial lysis and death.
Ceftriaxone is highly stable and effective against a wide range of pathogens, including many that produce β-lactamase, a common resistance mechanism.
This higher concentration (4000mg) of ceftriaxone sodium provides effective treatment for severe infections, especially in larger animals or those requiring higher doses for effective results.
Indications: This veterinary injection is indicated for the treatment of infections in animals caused by susceptible microorganisms. It is effective against a wide variety of bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis)
Urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis, cystitis, ...

Respiratory infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis)
Urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis, cystitis, and urethritis)

Intra-abdominal infections (peritonitis, abscesses)
Bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis, septic arthritis)
Sepsis or systemic infections
Bacterial infections of the skin and other body tissues
Ceftriaxone is commonly used in larger animals such as cattle, horses, and pigs, but it is also suitable for smaller animals like dogs and cats, depending on the condition and veterinarian's recommendation.
Dosage and Administration:
For dogs and cats:
Administer the injection either intramuscularly or intravenously.
The typical dosage is 20-40 mg/kg body weight per day, depending on the severity of the infection.
This injection is usually administered once daily, and the treatment duration can vary from 5 to 10 days or as directed by a veterinarian.
For livestock (cattle, horses, pigs, etc.):
Dosage is adjusted based on the size and condition of the animal.
The usual dose ranges between 20-40 mg/kg body weight per day, which can be administered once daily, with treatment durations varying according to the infection's severity and the veterinarian's judgment.
Contraindications:
Do not use this product in animals with known hypersensitivity to ceftriaxone, other cephalosporins, or penicillins.
Use with caution in animals with pre-existing renal or hepatic dysfunction.
Not recommended for use in animals intended for human consumption.
Warnings:
For veterinary use only. This product is not intended for food-producing animals if withdrawal times and usage restrictions are not followed.
Overdose or improper administration could result in adverse effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances or neurological symptoms.
Always ensure the correct dosage and administration technique to avoid complications.
Side Effects:
Common side effects:
Mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Local irritation or pain at the injection site, which may cause transient swelling or inflammation.
Serious side effects (rare):
Allergic reactions, including rashes, fever, or anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction).
Blood disorders such as leukopenia (low white blood cell count) or thrombocytopenia (low platelet count).
Changes in liver enzymes, which can indicate potential liver issues.
Renal impairment, particularly in animals with pre-existing kidney disease.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from light.
Do not freeze the product.
Keep the vial tightly sealed when not in use. Once opened, it should be used as directed by the veterinarian.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Precautions:
Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by the veterinarian, even if the animal shows signs of improvement, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Monitor animals with compromised kidney or liver function closely for any signs of adverse effects.
Use only under veterinary supervision to ensure appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
