It is indicated for the treatment of infections before the infecting organism has been identified or when caused by sensitive bacteria. Susceptibility to Ceftriaxone (as sodium) will vary with geography and time and local susceptibility data should be consulted where available.

Ear, nose and throat infections for example, sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and otitis media.
