Viatrex Special Precautions

Patients with history of hypersensitivity to ceftriaxone or Cephalosporin antibiotics.
Should be given cautiously in the following cases: Patients with history of penicillin allergy.
Patient with severe renal disorder (as the plasma concentration maintained for a long period of time. Decreased dosage or increased interval between treatments are required).
Patient with poor oral ingestion or parenteral nutrition patients and elderly patients (cautious monitoring is required since Vitamin K deficiency may occur).
Use with caution in patients with gallbladder, biliary tract, liver or pancreatic disease.
Super infections may occur with prolonged or repeated therapy.
Use in Pregnancy: Since safety use in pregnancy has not been established, ceftriaxone should be used during pregnancy only when the expected benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks.
Use in Lactation: Small amount of the drug has been distributed in human milk. Therefore the administration to nursing mothers should be avoided since it may displace bilirubin and cause kernicterus.
