Ceftriaxone is a prescription antibiotic that is licensed to treat a number of common infections. It is part of a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins, and it is given either as a shot or through an intravenous line (IV). Ceftriaxone is sold under the brand name RocephinÂ®. It is also available as a generic.
Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor. Ceftriaxone only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold). A severe and sometimes fatal type of anemia (hemolytic anemia) has been reported in patients using cephalosporin antibiotics, including ceftriaxone. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
