Description
Cefari injection is an antibiotic containing ceftriaxone, belonging to the Cephalosporin class of medicine. It is used for severe bacterial infections of the brain, lungs, ear, stomach, urinary tract, joints, skin and any other surgical procedures. Ceftriaxone kills the infection-causing bacteria by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall.
Cefari injection will be given to you at a hospital under the medical supervision of a doctor and a nurse. Do not self-inject. Your doctor or nurse will administer this injection as a drip (intravenous infusion) or as an injection directly into a vein or a muscle, after assessing the correct dose for you based on the severity of the infection.
Sometimes you may experience diarrhoea, altered blood levels, pain at the injection site, headache, and dizziness after taking this medicine. However, these side effects resolve on their own; if they worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
