Precautions&warning:
1.Hypersensitivity reactions
2.Incompatibilities:In patients older than 28 days (including adults), ceftriaxone must not be administered simultaneously with intravenous calcium-containing solutions, including Sodium Lactate Ringer's Injection, through the same infusion line. If the same infusion line is used for sequential administration, the line must be thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid.

4.Fluid balance/renal function
5.Acid-base balance
Adverse reaction:

Drug interactions:
1.Drugs leading to an increased vasopressin effect:
Drugs stimulating vasopressin release include: Chlorpropamide, clofibrate, carbamazepine, vincristine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, 3.4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine, ifosfamide, antipsychotics, narcotics; Drugs potentiating vasopressin action include: Chlorpropamide, NSAIDs, cyclophosphamide; Vasopressin analogues include: Desmopressin, oxytocin, terlipressin; Other medicinal products increasing the risk of hyponatraemia also include diuretics in general and antiepileptics such as oxcarbazepine.
2.Interaction related to the presence of sodium:corticosteroids.
3.Interaction related to the presence of potassium: Potassium-sparing diuretics (amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene, alone or in association); Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists; Tacrolimus, cyclosporine.
