MODE OF ACTION: Bactericidal in action, ceftriaxone inhibits the nucleopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall.

Advantages: Triax is bactalactamase stable and has the excellent ability to penetrate the cell wall. The plasma half life is longer (about 11 hours). Triax diffuses into all body fluids uniformly. Triax extensively binds it self to plasma proteins. Excretion by renal and non-renal (bile) facilitates a double absorption.

Spectrum of Activity:

Gram -ve organisms: E.coli, psudomonas spp, several penicillinase and non penicillinase producing organisams.

Gram +ve organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus agalactiae, dysyalactiae.
