Clinical effectiveness of Ceftriaxone was evaluated in 20 patients of respiratory tract infection and 5 patients for prophylactic use in surgery cases. The drug was administered intravenously in dose of 1-2gm daily(once in 21 cases and twice in 4 cases). The clinical response was favourable in 23 of 25 patients(92%).
During the treatment, 2 patients showed adverse effects including nausea, erythema, respectively, which disappeared within 2-3 days. The results of this study indicate that Ceftriaxone is effective in the treatment of respiratory tract infection with a dose of 1gm single daily in most patients.
