For Urinary Tract Infection "10 weeks pregnant and found out I had a bladder infection/urinary tract infection. Doctor first prescribed Macro. Those were the worst 3 days ever. I could not stop throwing up. The smell of food made me nauseous. I was weak and did not move from the bed for 3 days, which is not like me at all. I am a very active person. I called the on-call doctor on Sunday night, and she told me to stop taking Macro and to come in tomorrow to get the Rocephin shot. I have to say just from one day of being off Macro, I already feel better but not 100%. I took the Rocephin shot and started to feel better little by little after 3 hours. I expected for the shot to hurt a lot. However, it only burned a little for a short period of time."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I have been getting UTIs for many years. Usually take Bactrim or Cipro. Had such a bad one, plus pain in my back, and I felt like the Bactrim was making me feel awful too. I ended up going to the ER because I have only 1 kidney and can’t allow a kidney infection to set in. I got a Rocephin IV, and it is now 9 hrs later, and I feel so much better! It's still soon to say it completely cured it, but I am actually having real relief for the first time in 5 days. Why didn’t I ever hear about this drug before?"

For Urinary Tract Infection "I expressed I felt strongly I had an infection on my kidney or bladder, and after she decided to test my urine, she came back and said I made her a liar, and there was an infection still present after completing the Cipro. I was given Rocephin via IV, fluids, and CScan. Diagnosed with UTI, and the infection was in my bladder. Gave me Nitrofurantoin, and I've been sick as heck-chills, nausea, you name it! Going back and requesting Rocephin shot!"

For Urinary Tract Infection "I went to Convenient Care late this morning. I have been having problems with urinating all week. I was running to the bathroom with extreme urgency to pee every 15 minutes or so, only to urinate a small amount. My back had started hurting in a different area than usual a few days ago, and yesterday my legs ached so badly I could barely stand it. I was nauseated also. Anyways, at the Convenient Care, they checked me in, and I had a temperature. They asked for a urine sample, so I gave them one. All morning I have been passing small clot-like mucous pieces of blood while urinating. I have never had an injection before for my bladder infections, but this morning I received my first Rocephin. I had it around noon, and by 4:30, I was already starting to feel better! They also gave me Cipro for 10 days, so I hope that doesn’t make me feel too sick because I’m feeling a lot better right now. Still achy, but not burning when I urinate."

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 of hours. I still felt sick the next day and had to miss work and wound up in the 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!"
