    Ceftriaxone (Keptrix) is an antibiotic administered intravenously once every 12 hours to treat serious lower respiratory and urinary tract infections by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to cephalosporins and should be used cautiously in those with penicillin sensitivity. Potential side effects include dizziness, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, pain, and tenderness at the injection site. Nurses should monitor for adverse reactions and instruct patients to report any issues like pain or diarrhea.
