Gencef 1g Ceftriaxone Powder for Injection - 1 Vial

Gencef 1g delivers critical intravenous or intramuscular coverage. Powered by Ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum 3rd generation cephalosporin, it enters the bloodstream instantly to disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis, destroying resistant pathogens in emergency ward and surgical settings.
How to Use / Operate
Must be reconstituted with sterile water for injection or lidocaine (for IM use only) and administered by a qualified doctor or nurse via IV infusion or deep IM injection according to hospital clinical protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gencef 1g Injection used for?
It is a heavy-duty hospital antibiotic used to treat severe systemic bacterial infections, typhoid fever, gonorrhea, and surgical infection prophylaxis.

No. Ceftriaxone is not absorbed through the digestive tract and must be given by injection.
Important Clinical Considerations
Strictly contraindicated in neonates receiving calcium-containing IV solutions (like Ringer's lactate) due to the risk of fatal calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in lungs and kidneys. Do not use in patients with severe cephalosporin allergies.
