I am terrified because I have a baby of 4 years infected with some bacteria in his ear. That was what his doctor told us, when we noticed there is something wrong with him. He told us he has to take injections of some Rocephrin, so I am afraid. Can you tell me if this medicine is too strong maybe for someone as young as my son is? Are there some adverse reactions about Rocephrin IV I should know?

His doctor prescribed him right medicine for injections, because Rocephin IV has so wide field of working. It could kill so many different types of bacteria, both Gram positive and negative. I believe your son’s infection will pass soon with therapy of this drug. Thirty-three percent to 67% of a Rocephin IV dose was excreted in the urine as unchanged drug. Reminer was secreted in the bile and ultimately found in the feces as microbiologically inactive compounds. The bactericidal activity of Rocephin IV results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis. This medicine has a high degree of stability in the presence of beta-lactamases, both penicillinases and cephalosporinases of gram-negative and positive bacteria. Rocephin has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections. This medicine is generally well tolerated, but some possible adverse effects could occur, such as pain, indurations and tenderness with phlebitis. Eosinophilia and leucopenia are hematologic adverse reactions, rarely reported with treatment of Rocephin.
