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.
