    Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic available in intravenous and intramuscular forms for treatment of various infections including gonorrhea, UTIs, respiratory infections, gynecologic infections, bone/joint infections, intra-abdominal infections, and skin/skin structure infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. It should be used cautiously in patients with a history of colitis, penicillin allergy, or impaired renal function due to risks of superinfection and adverse reactions. Nursing considerations include monitoring for signs of superinfection or adverse reactions and ensuring proper administration.
