Ceftriaxone to oral

Recommendations have been made to convert intravenous ceftriaxone, a third generation cephalosporin, to oral cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin. Intravenous ceftriaxone has no definitive oral equivalent and conversion to cefuroxime (Ceftin ) should be adequate following initial therapy with ceftriaxone.

Ceftriaxone is only given as an injection, either intramuscularly or intravenously. Ceftriaxone is less than 1% bioavailable if given orally. Volume of

Ceftriaxone 500 mg given intramuscularly in a single dose: If ceftriaxone is not available: Cefixime 800 mg orally in a single dose OR gentamicin 240 mg given intramuscularly in a single dose, PLUS azithromycin 2 g given orally in a single dose: For people allergic to ceftriaxone

When ceftriaxone cannot be used for treatment of urogenital or rectal gonorrhea, two alternative options are available: cefixime 400 mg orally plus either azithromycin 1 g orally or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily orally for 7 days if ceftriaxone is not readily available, or azithromycin 2 g orally in a single dose if ceftriaxone cannot be given

Ceftriaxone is less than 1% bioavailable if given orally. Volume of Ciprofloxacin, Ceftriaxone may decrease the excretion rate of Ciprofloxacin

When ceftriaxone cannot be used for treatment of urogenital or rectal gonorrhea, two alternative options are available: cefixime 400 mg orally plus either azithromycin 1 g orally or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily orally for 7 days if ceftriaxone is not readily available, or azithromycin 2 g orally in a single dose if ceftriaxone cannot be given

There are two alternatives for patients who are unable to receive ceftriaxone. Cefixime 400 mg orally could be substituted for ceftriaxone. In

When ceftriaxone cannot be used for treatment of urogenital or rectal gonorrhea, two alternative options are available: cefixime 400 mg orally plus either azithromycin 1 g orally or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily orally for 7 days if ceftriaxone is not readily available, or azithromycin 2 g orally in a single dose if ceftriaxone cannot be given

Conversion to oral therapy with ciprofloxacin/metronidazole was as effective as continued intravenous therapy with ceftriaxone and oral
