For Urinary Tract Infection "My daughter (5) got up one morning and went to the bathroom at least 40 times in 10 minutes (autistic, can talk but not with things like that) and I thought she was just being weird until it clicked it was a UTI. Took her to the Urgent Care and was running a fever and positive screen for UTI. Doctor recommended this shot to get treatment started and I thought about it for a minute and said do it and my daughter was better within an hour playing outside. The shot was obviously painful for her, she didn't enjoy it at all. And was prescribed additional antibiotics for 7 days. Glad we did the shot. I was surprised at its fast-acting abilities."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I had developed a UTI just a few days ago. After 2 days of back pain and abdominal pain I finally went to my Dr. They wrote a prescription for Ciprofloxacin and also gave me 2 Rocephin injections in my butt. Having been diagnosed with Spina Bifida while still in my Mother's womb in 1984, I've had many Urinary Tract Infections. Every oral Antibiotic takes so long for relief but the Rocephin injections worked almost instantaneous!!! The sting from the shot hurts but the results are well worth getting the shot!!!"

For Bacterial Infection "Had a horrible cough for 7 days, with varying colors of sputum. Went from green to yellow to frothy white. At day 5, I had diarrhea and loss of appetite. I was weak and fragile, lethargic and dehydrated. Went into an urgent care walk in was swabbed for strep- came back false/positive since it had been 7days already. Doctor checked my throat it was a harsh red, inflammation and swelling. Given a shot of Rocephin to jumpstart my antibiotic treatments. Shot was painless for me. I feel better after a few hours, still have some throat and cough but over all, I'm regaining my energy and my appetite."

For Bacterial Infection "I’ve had this injection twice once when I was pregnant for a ear infection/flu and once today for sinus infection and it works so well!!!! Clears up a sinus infection within hours. This shot is HUGE and it hurts but if your nurse gives injects it into you slowly it won’t be too bad. I am terrified of these shots but I begged for it today and was glad I got it."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I had a shot after several days of a UTI. It cleared the UTI quickly (in addition to oral antibiotics) but the lump at the shot site is still there! It's been over a month and I can still feel the lump under my skin. Slightly painful to the touch."

For Bacterial Infection "I have been suffering from chronic sore throats for over a year and have had a horrible time with ups and downs of feeling well and then suddenly sick to the point where I had to miss work, like death. Doctors kept telling me "oh it's just a virus and will pass". It always came back. Finally my doctor tried a shot of Rocephin and it started to work within a couple HOURS. I still felt sick the next day and had to miss work and wound up in ER the following evening due to extreme migraine headache, high BP, nausea but I think it was from the doxycycline that was also given to me to take orally. Was a VERY rough night. But the next day I felt 100% better and I've been feeling so much healthier since. Like a miracle!"

For Bacterial Infection "I received 1 gram in each hip once per week for 3 weeks to knock out an infection I had. It's been a month since my last injection. I think I can still feel the 6 lumps in my hips, but it knocked out the infection. "

For Pneumonia "Went to the doctor on a Monday with what I thought was sinuses acting up. They thought the same...by the next day I Had a bad cough and didn’t even feel like moving any muscle. I stayed on the couch for 2 days with a fever ranging from 100-102! I finally forced myself to go see the doctor again on Wednesday and yup pneumonia. They gave me a rocephin shot in office and also a prescription for a z pack! Time I got home an hour later my fever had dropped to around 99 and 30 minutes later it was back to normal. Woke up the next day and thought man I could go to work (not very smart thinking on my end) I made it through work but it wore me out. The doctor had me come back Saturday for another rocephin shot and today I feel more back to normal."

For Bacterial Infection "Concerning painful injection of Rocephin: just ask the nurse to give it very, very slowly. This makes all the difference. If given very fast, you can’t hardly walk out of the office. Slowly, no problem, of course, it will burn a little going in, but not badly."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I was given the shot today, after having finished a 7 day antibiotic which did not help my UTI at all. After reading the reviews I see most peoples symptoms cleared within 4-6hrs however I cannot say the same. I hope by the time I wake up I notice a difference. Its been 3 weeks, 2 oral antibiotics, lots of azo, and now the rocephin shot. Lets cross our fingers and hope it makes the difference!"

For Pneumonia "I'm a 16 year old girl. I have had mono in the past I recently was concerned about my right tonsil because it won't go down. I shortly after the doctor appointment got a cold or so I thought and it turned out I had walking pneumonia.. It happens fast! I had a shot of rocephin and my right buttock has never Been in such pain but within 24 hours my chest felt absolutely clear. And I have had a little cough since and some leg and butt pain otherwise I'm so grateful for this medicine! ❤️"

For Lyme Disease, Neurologic "Like others I was misdiagnosed, for me it was 25 years! I started slowly with other antibiotics and anti malaria for babesia , TBRF and Lyme When I finally started injecting Rocephin. I felt amazing afterwards. Some days not so much... but like other comments it’s made a big difference. My stomach feels amazing and my joints stopped throbbing (in AM... still tired at the end of the day). And neck was looser and bones feel better I already removed my GB ..hoping to get rid of an odd side pain , so that’s not an issue for me. Hoping the effects last. May switch over to disulfiram eventually. Good luck all..we can get better step by step hopefully! With nothing but love for my fellow sufferers!"

For Gonococcal Infection, Uncomplicated "I picked up Gonorrhea... received one shot of Ceftriaxone in combination with oral Azithromycin. The needle was huge but I didn’t feel ANYTHING. Started clearing up the infection almost immediately. 12+ hours later and still no pain... there must have been a lot of Lidocaine mixed in."

For Otitis Media "I had a shot of Rocephin 1g in my (R) gluteus 1 week and 1 day ago. The pain upon injection was a 5.5 on a scale of 10. It is a big shot and it takes several seconds to administer. This was to treat a middle ear infection which turned out to be a burst eardrum. The ear started getting better (less pain and less full feeling) within 24-hours, but the pain from the shot is still a 2-2.5 on a scale of 10, 8 days after administration."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I had a UTI come back 3 weeks after taking Bactrim Sulphate for 3 days and I woke in the middle of the night with sweats and the painful urgency to go pee. It was so bad that I couldn't wait to see my doctor the next day. I went to the E.R. at midnight and after receiving treatment I was given an injectio of Rocephin 1 MG, with a written prescription for a 7 day antibiotic. LISTEN to me when I tell you this injection was like Satan slapping me on my rear and saying enjoy the next 10 minutes of fire. It hurt going in and hurt so bad like my skin was melting for 10 minutes afterwards. But IT WORKED, when I got up the next morning at 6 am, the urgency to pee was gone and I had no pain. The injection site was very tender."

For Bacterial Infection "Got the shot in my hip last night for an infection in the lymph nodes in my neck. I felt a little better, but it made me even more sore and sensitive in my shoulders and chest afterwards. Now it's been a full day and all the pain is back, the only thing that isn't is the dizziness. So far, no real difference."

For Bone infection "I got this drug two weeks ago because of a persistent jaw bone issue. The doctor wanted to see if it would improve its outcome. I cannot tolerate oral antibiotics at this point. The shot given into my hip was immediately painful down the leg and into the back. She said it would be painful. That night it was still very painful and I began getting random nerve pain all over my body, my throat became painful and blisters on the back of my throat. It was the weekend so didn't call in. When I did they said they would put it down as an allergic reaction to the shot. It has taken two weeks for my throat to calm down, the nerve pain throughout the body is much less but still is occurring. There are still blisters on the back of my throat and I feel awful still. Would never get this drug again for any reason. This was given as a shot 1000 mg into my hip. I am 70 years old."

For Pneumonia "I had been to hospital with some pretty bad pneumonia. They were in the process of discharging me when the nurse gave me the shot. Let me be clear I have NEVER EVER felt such a painful shot in my life. Holy cow it felt like I had broken my arm and I couldn’t move it for at least 30 minutes after. Nurse said to rub it out and luckily it didn’t hurt too bad the next day."

For Kidney Infections "An injection of Rocephin does hurt a little but it's reconstituted with Lidocaine to lessen the pain. If you are not faint at heart with shots and you don't have an allergen to the drug than it will work wonders for you."
