What can't I eat after taking ceftriaxone?

Cephalexin is a very common anti-inflammatory drug for many people. Taking or injecting cephalosporin can effectively treat some body inflammations and effectively prevent body wound infections. It is very beneficial to the body. However, you also need to pay attention to some matters after taking cephalosporin. You cannot drink alcohol or eat spicy food after taking cephalosporin, which is very bad for your body.

What can't you eat after taking ceftriaxone?

After taking ceftriaxone, you should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, including liquor, beer, rice wine, wine, etc. You should eat a light diet, eat less spicy and irritating food, drink less strong tea, and get more rest.

Because alcohol will react with cephalosporin metabolites to produce disulfiram, highly toxic substances, a small amount of alcohol can be fatal. Therefore, alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.

Common misunderstandings when taking ceftriaxone

1. Use cephalosporin for prevention to kill bacteria in advance

Correction: Preventive use of ceftriaxone is completely useless. Many people feel that the weather is getting colder and that their old illnesses such as pharyngitis and tracheitis are about to relapse, so they rush to the hospital to get some cephalosporin, which is called preventive use. This phenomenon occurs particularly frequently in children.

In fact, for most children with upper respiratory tract infections, the prophylactic use of cephalosporins is completely unnecessary. Studies have shown that 71% of children who did not receive antibiotic treatment did not need a follow-up visit within 1 month, while 44% of children who received antibiotics did.

2. Injection is the first choice, oral administration is the last resort

Correction: Generally speaking, oral administration is recommended as much as possible. In order to recover quickly, some patients will actively ask doctors to give them intravenous drips, which is very unwise. The correct approach is to choose oral medication for mild infections, and only use intravenous medication for severe infections, and usually use intravenous drip, and try to use push injections as little as possible. Doing so can significantly reduce adverse reactions.

Take cephalosporin antibiotics, otherwise it is easy to cause allergies or even shock, severe cases may even lead to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia! The disease can occur 5-10 minutes after drinking, and the reaction lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. The severity of the reaction is directly proportional to the dose and the amount of alcohol consumed. If the person does not drink or drinks very little, the reaction will be more serious. Reactions to intravenous medications are more rapid and severe than those to oral medications.
