Dear Patient,
Thank you for your question regarding the administration of Ceftriaxone IM injection. For intramuscular (IM) injections, Ceftriaxone is typically mixed with Lidocaine solution to reduce pain at the injection site. Sterile water is generally used for intravenous (IV) injections of Ceftriaxone, not for IM injections.
It is important to follow proper medical guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the correct administration of medications. I strongly recommend that you schedule a consultation with me for a detailed discussion and proper guidance on this matter.
Please feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two to schedule an appointment or discuss your concerns further.
Take care.
