For Joint Infection "I was bitten by my cat and ended up in the hospital for 6 days with an infection in the wound. I was put on ceftriazone through IV. I was then sent home with a PICC line and I was giving myself this medicine intravenously for 15 more days. I suffered through some side effects and now I have to get treated for Clostridium difficile which is caused by long term IV antibiotic treatment. The jury is still out on how effective it is."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Bronchitis "I was given this medicine after my Dr and discovered I pretty much had an absent immune system. I have been on several pill antibiotics and nothing was working anymore. I had this medicine by IV in a Dr office one time. My infection finally went away. I didn't have any reaction to this medicine."

For Pelvic Inflammatory Disease "I was given an injection of ceftriaxone two days ago for pelvic inflammatory disease. A few hours after I received the injection, I suddenly felt lightheaded and dizzy and needed to lay down. When I woke up, I had terrible diarrhea. I ended up spending the entire night violently ill, getting intense hot flashes before vomiting, and then getting so cold that I was shivering uncontrollably. I vomited 6 times, and my body (especially my legs) is still in so much pain. My green discharge seems to have improved, but my pelvic pain is actually much worse now, because of how much pain I'm in after vomiting and shivering. My boyfriend and I had the same food and he was not sick, and a nurse told me this is a rare reaction to this injection."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Bacterial Infection "Got this shot 4 1/2 hours ago. Let me tell you miracles exist! I was dying from a severe sore throat and my tonsils were so red and swollen. I couldn’t even swallow my own saliva. I had headaches so bad that I felt my head would explode. This shot is amazing. I can swallow again I can breathe with my mouth closed. Wow."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Bone infection "Went to urgent care for a bad case of pharyngitis. Previously, I was on amoxicillin for ten days which seemed to help but the infection came back. The doctor ordered blood work and a gram of IV Rocephin. The Rocephin was pushed for 30 minutes and it hurt a bit going in. I was put on oral Axetil for another ten days. It’s been four days since the IV and the injection site is tender, and I have a huge red bruise that wraps around and extends to the elbow. The throat feels better — my arm, not so much."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Bacterial Infection "My doctor prescribed this for tooth infection until I could get to the dentist. I have problems with my stomach and can't take oral antibiotics. I had 2 grams the first day then one gram for the next 4 days. It seems to be helping the infection but I started having pain between my shoulder blades and belching. I also had bloating and pain in my stomach. So same stomach issues as oral antibiotics."

For Bacterial Infection "I have COPD and other lung issues. For two weeks I received two shots a week. At first it seemed to help with little side effects. By the third shot did not seem like it was working anymore. Fourth shot caused severe side effects. I broke out in itchy rash head to toe, my throat was starting to constrict combined with a "sick" feeling getting worse as day went on.; Ended up in ER with throat constriction and difficulty breathing. Several hours of oxygen and Benedryl I was released. I will NEVER take this med again. I still have the lung and heart sac infection!"

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Lyme Disease, Neurologic "After 4 weeks PICC line daily I needed Gallbladder removal. I was supposed to do 8 weeks treatment. I ended up stopping at 4. Never completed treatment. I never felt better I felt terrible everyday I was sick vomiting, headache, body aches, weak. But most of that is normal other than vomiting and gallbladder. It was also a little inconvenient. But no Lyme is great. I never feel good at all I'm in a wheelchair now I'm not well anymore I don't know that I'll be well until I get remission and lot of physical therapy between now and then."

For Bacterial Infection "Wonder drug. Everytime I get strep/tonsillitus, this shot of Rocephin in the butt cheek is the ONLY thing that clears it up and fast. 1 GRAM IM, within hours the white stuff on my tonsils has gone away, fever gone, and feel like myself again. Complete waste of time taking oral antibiotics that aren't strong enough. Most foreign countries use Rochepin as first line of medicine to clear bacterial infection. Yet in the US they offer to torture you with countless oral antibiotics that don't work. I found one Urgent Care near me that always gives me a shot whenever I get tonsillitis..thank goodness."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Urinary Tract Infection "Can not say enough about a shot of rocephin to kick start getting rid of an infection along with Cephdnir if you have had a urine culture to say it is susceptible to antibiotic. A common bacteria Kiseablaie infection, especially in older women such as my self that has had a total hysterectomy. One word of advice get a culture done. I have also had to have 3 shots for strep that kept coming back knocked it out finally after 6 months. No side affects."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Urinary Tract Infection "I was given macrobid and cipro first for my UTI at urgent care. Both made me throw up even with zofran, so I went back. The doctor gave me this shot. I got it in my buttock and it didn't hurt at all. The liquid burned a little but I mean bitting my tongue hurts worse than that. Overall I'm super happy because my symptoms are gone a lot faster than with antibiotic pills, which always upset my stomach anyways. I will be asking for this for every UTI I get moving forward."

Rocephin (ceftriaxone) for Bacterial Infection "I 100% recommend this drug for anyone with an intense infection. I am currently on Flagyl due to a C. Diff infection and my doctor advised me not to take any antibiotics orally. Was diagnosed with a double ear infection and a chest infection after going in to urgent care for symptoms unrelated to C. Diff. Let them know everything and my care plan now involves using this injection to clear up my ear and chest infections through my muscles instead of digestive tract since I am still taking Flagyl. The injction stung a tad when injected but I hardly felt anything other than that due to my fear of rupture in my ear drum. Honestly I couldn't say how big the needle was because I was too focused on what was being said about the possible rupture. I have 2 more injections to do over the next two days and I am looking forward to them. This is a miracle. I already feel less pressure in my ears and its only been 6 hours. I expect this to be gone very soon! So pleased. No side effects to me at all."

For Skin and Structure Infection "I hand an severe infection at a finger joint after a light dog bite. So about 30 hours later I received a shot of IV in left arm it was painful to the point they had to stop and change injection site. Reduced injection rate helped but still was harsh. Redness in finger diminished a lot during the night. Next morning doctor recommended another shot. In right arm this time I was apprehending pain again but this time just a small discomfort. My observation is the last IV was really correctly in the vein and rate of injection was adequate, even if the last 5ml was pushed by hand by the nurse. I was prescribed Amoxcillin orally for 5 days, 24 hours later after the second IV the swelling was gone and normal coloration. Yes, this worked well for me so far and probably saved my finger from complications. Follow your infectious disease specialist advice they know what they are doing."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "Works well, but I’m my cases I’m always on it for one reason or another; septic, bladder/kidney infections, had a huge infection in my neck, that spread within 12 hours, couldn’t move my neck, right shoulder or arm, pneumonia, mrsa, staph, sci, infected bacterium port, etc. but I’m on it for at least a month at a time if not longer! Usually combined with different antibiotics too One lady on here was asking about demannose for bladder infections. Didn’t work for me.... it’s basically just sugar pills. Literally. Cystex works 10000000xs better! I take it at the first sign of pain, dark or cloudy urine... it is awesome & doesn’t have the red/orange staining properties like azo and other prescriptions like it like."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Went to urgent care this morning been dealing with a UTI for the past 2 months. All test were neg, prescribed flagyl, moxifloxacin, cipro & bactrim. They didn't eradicate the problem, insisted to the doctor to administer ceftriaxone, she complied and I must say the results are spectacular...also sent a order to the pharmacist for doxycycline 100mg 2x a day for 14"

For Urinary Tract Infection "So I just received this ceftriaxone shot. Getting it wasn't so bad but after I got hot and sweaty and then the pain in my arm was so bad I couldn't help but cry out in pain. It's only been a half hour and the pain is still there. I hope it goes away soon. But will update if it works"

For Urinary Tract Infection "Had 3 shots of ceftriazone over 5 day period. For a UTI where 2 rounds of meds already failed. This did not help either. 2 rounds of more antibiotics later, l'm still infected. Going for tests. So no luck with this drug. Took under observation because of possible allergic reaction. After first shot started to shake and almost passed out. Though this may be due to the lidocaine as it speeds up my heart and makes me shake at the dentist. Was fine with the other two. The injection sites felt lumpy and hurt on and off. 3 weeks later I'm having some nasty pain at the area of the last injection. Exercise, sitting wrong, carrying anything, or doing things around the house causes pain that doesn't let up."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I found out yesterday from my ortho doctor that I had a very serious UTI. I slept 22 hours the day before, headache, diaphoretic, chills, nausea, severe abdominal and back pain. Saw my primary care physician today, and she asked if I would like a shot of Rocephin before I started my antibiotics. I was like sure, anything. All my pain symptoms were gone within 6 hours. Amazing. It is 11:00 pm now and I can't believe that just 10 hours ago I was weeping from extreme pain and discomfort. Minimal pain with injection in buttock."

For Kidney Infections "Went to urgent care for a presumed kidney infection (had one before, felt the same excruciating flank pain). The dr suggested treating me right off the bat for one while we would wait for the proper lab results to come back for confirmation. Within a few hours of her poking me in the opposite hip, I felt immense relief. She prepared me for the shot itself to be painful, but I did not think it was bad at all; just a tad sore to the touch that night."

For Surgical Prophylaxis "I had a dead gallbladder full of stones which was infected, as well as the infection, was spreading to my stomach and liver, and I had low vitamin B12 and vitamin D with an impaired immune system. The surgeon gave me IV Ceftriaxone to kill the infection and prevent me from getting an additional infection in my body from the surgery to remove the gallbladder. I did not get any infection afterward, including pseudomonas, and I recovered from the stomach and liver involvement in the hospital successfully. I had no side effects at all. I went from doubled over unable to walk with bad liver blood results and bad endoscopy, to being able to walk and eat with good blood results and regrowth of my stomach lining. 10 / 10 saved my life."

"I became diabetic in my late 60s and for some reason all my crowns fell out. Eventually I started having real problems with about six teeth. I have a rider on Medicare for dental but it does not cover most problems. So about once a month I have to go to emergency room. This last time they gave me ceftriaxone but they were out of Lidocaine so it was somehow liquid based. It probably took her 2 minutes to get all that into my hip. I clinched the bed to help with the pain. It immediately felt like fire ants going up and down my leg on the hip she gave it to me. I kept trying to wipe them off but there were none there. It was pretty rough. Usually shots do not bother me but this one was totally different. It took about 24 hours before my teeth quit hurting. Then I had to take amoxicillin for 7 days. It may not have been so bad if they were not out of lidocaine. I would do it all over again and probably will because because of these recurring teeth problems. I need at least one removed"
