Impetigo, a bacterial infection of the skin that can occur in both children and adults, can cause blisters. Chickenpox, an infection caused by a virus, produces itchy spots, and often blisters on the skin. The same virus that causes chickenpox also causes shingles, or herpes zoster. The virus reappears in some people later in life and produces a skin rash with fluid vesicles that can rupture.
Rocephin is part of a class of drugs called cephalosporins. It prevents bacteria's ability to make and maintain their cell wall. Without a cell wall, bacteria are vulnerable and ultimately perish.
Rocephin should be administered intravenously by infusion over a period of 30 minutes, except in neonates where administration over 60 minutes is recommended to reduce the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.Concentrations between 10 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL are recommended; however, lower concentrations may be used if desired.or preoperative use (surgical prophylaxis), a single dose of 1 gram administered intravenously Â½ to 2 hours before surgery is recommended. Generally, Rocephin therapy should be continued for at least 2 days after the signs and symptoms of infection have disappeared.
