Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used for a variety of reasons ranging from ear infections that do not respond to other oral antibiotics, to wound infections, pneumonias, etc.
Ceftriaxone is often used, to meningitis because it is able to get into the fluid around your brain and spine, your cerebral spinal fluid or CSF, something some other antibiotics aren't able to do.
It's a good medication in that it can be given IV (in a vein) or IM (into a muscle), so for patients that can't eat/take anything by mouth, it's a good option. It's also a good medication in that it has a wide range of bacterial that it can kill.

Information for Healthcare Professionals: Ceftriaxone (marketed as Rocephin and generics)Last updated: 4/21/2009This Alert highlights important revisions to the Warnings, Dosage and Administration, Contraindications, and Clinical Pharmacology sections of the full prescribing information for ceftriaxone (Rocephin and its generics). This information updates a previous Alert and addresses the interaction of ceftriaxone with calcium-containing products, based on previously reported fatal cases in neonates. At the request of FDA, the manufacturer of ceftriaxone (Roche) conducted two in vitro studies to assess the potential for precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium when ceftriaxone and calcium-containing products are mixed in vials and in infusion lines. These two in vitro studies were conducted in neonatal and adult plasma to assess the potential for precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium using varying ceftriaxone and calcium concentrations, including concentrations in excess of those achieved in vivo.* Based on the results from these studies, FDA has the following updated recommendations:Concomitant use of ceftriaxone and intravenous calcium-containing products is contraindicated in neonates (28 days of age, using the precautionary steps above because the risk of precipitation is low in this population. FDA had previously recommended, but no longer recommends, that in all age groups ceftriaxone and calcium-containing products should not be administered within 48 hours of one another
