Hi! I have Lyme disease. Doctor prescribed me Rocephin. I will are injecting Rocephin at home. I want to know more about Rocephin. How should I use Rocephin? What happens if I miss a dose?
Hi! Rocephin is an antibiotic in a class of drugs called cephalosporins. Rocephin fights bacteria in the body. I also use Rocephin. Nurse trained my wife, and she gives me Rocephin. If you are injecting Rocephin at home, your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how and where to inject the medication. If you do not understand these directions, do not attempt to inject the medication. Contact your doctor for further instructions.
Talk to your doctor if you miss a dose. Good luck!
I started Rocephin IV about 3 weeks ago, and I do it at home myself. The past couple of days, after i inject the Rocephin i feel itchy inside my body, mainly my neck and chest area. Is this sign of allergic reaction?
