How do you self administer IM Ceftriaxone?

Answer 1

If administering Ceftriaxone at home, the doctor may prescribe the medication in a powder form that may need to be mixed. Follow the mixing and storage directions carefully. Once mixed, the correct dosage is drawn up into a syringe. Gently tap the syringe to remove any air bubbles. Your doctor can recommend an injection site or sites. Once the needle is properly inserted into the muscle, push the plunger of the syringe slowly until all the medication has been administered. Dispose of the used syringe properly. Watch for any adverse reactions, including those at the injection site and report them to your doctor. Follow recommended dosage schedules carefully.
