Indications

Mechanism of Action

Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the formation of peptidoglycan, which is essential for bacterial cell wall structure. This leads to weakening of the cell wall and ultimately bacterial cell death, effectively treating the infection.
