Ceftriaxone is typically given as an injection into a muscle (intramuscular) or into a vein (intravenous). It should be administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting such as a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office.
To give ceftriaxone, follow these steps:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Prepare the ceftriaxone injection according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab.
4. If giving an intramuscular injection, insert the needle at a 90-degree angle into the muscle (usually the buttocks or thigh).
5. If giving an intravenous injection, insert the needle into a vein and slowly inject the medication.
6. After administering the injection, remove the needle and apply pressure to the injection site with a clean cotton ball or gauze pad.
7. Dispose of the needle and syringe in a sharps container.
It is important to follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure the safe and effective use of ceftriaxone.
