When prescribing ceftriaxone, it is necessary to adhere to official recommendations on antibiotic therapy and, in particular, recommendations on the prevention of antibiotic resistance.
Hypersensitivity to Ceftriaxone or any other Cefalosporin. Previous hystory of severe hypersensitivity reactions (such as anaphylactic reactions) to any type of betalactam antibacterial agents (penicillins, monobactams, or cephalosporins).
Ceftriaxone is contraindicated:
In premature newborns aged ≤ 41 weeks with consideration of fetal growth (gestational age + age after birth);
In full-term newborns (aged ≤ 28 days):
– with hyperbilirubinemia, jaundice, hypoalbuminemia or acidosis as at such states the bilirubin binding is probably broken;
– who require (or expected to require) intravenous injection of calcium preparations or calcium containing infusions as the risk of formation of precipitates of calcium salt of Ceftriaxon exists.
