Composition and Mechanism of Action

Rofecin Injection contains 500 mg of Ceftriaxone per vial. Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Bacteria require a strong cell wall to survive, and by disrupting its formation, the antibiotic weakens the bacteria and eventually leads to their death. Because of this mechanism, ceftriaxone is considered a bactericidal antibiotic. It is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Indications

Rofecin Injection is used for the treatment of several infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Common indications include:

• Respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Bone and joint infections

• Intra-abdominal infections

• Septicemia (bloodstream infections)

• Meningitis

• Gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections

• Ear, nose, and throat infections

Doctors may also prescribe it for surgical infection prevention before certain operations.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Rofecin Injection depends on the patient’s age, body weight, severity of infection, and medical condition. For adults and older children, the usual dose ranges from 500 mg to 2 g once daily or divided into two doses. In severe infections, higher doses may be required as recommended by a physician.

The injection is administered intramuscularly, typically into a large muscle such as the gluteal muscle. Since it is a prescription medicine, it should only be used under medical supervision.
