Oxidil 2g IV Injection (Ceftriaxone): High-Dose Intravenous Antibiotic for Severe Bacterial Infections

Oxidil 2g IV Injection is a sterile, injectable antibiotic containing a high dose of Ceftriaxone (2 grams), a powerful third-generation cephalosporin. It’s used to treat a wide range of severe bacterial infections when intravenous (IV) administration is necessary for rapid and effective delivery of the medication. The IV route allows the antibiotic to directly enter the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, which is crucial for treating severe infections and ensuring optimal drug levels, especially in critically ill patients.

How do you prepare ceftriaxone 2g IV injections?

The preparation of Ceftriaxone 2g IV injections, such as Oxidil 2g IV, should only be performed by trained healthcare professionals in a sterile environment. Improper preparation can lead to contamination and serious harm to the patient.

The general steps involved are:

1. Reconstitution: The powdered ceftriaxone in the vial is reconstituted with a compatible sterile diluent, such as Sterile Water for Injection, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, or 5% Dextrose Injection. The volume of diluent used will depend on the desired concentration and is usually around 10ml for 1g vial. The specific instructions are provided in the product insert.
2. Further Dilution: For IV infusion, the reconstituted solution is often further diluted in a larger volume (e.g., 50-100 mL) of a compatible IV fluid, such as 0.9% Sodium Chloride or 5% Dextrose, in an IV bag.
3. Administration: The diluted solution is then administered slowly through an IV line, typically over 30 minutes or as directed by the physician.

It is absolutely crucial that this process is carried out by qualified medical personnel to ensure sterility, proper dosage, and safe administration.
