Ceftriaxone in muscle instead of IV

Hello,
as I am not really getting better, my doctor decided to proceed with IV Caftriaxone. I was happy because I have read that it has helped to many people.

But when I went to pharmacy, it turned out that he had prescribed Ceftriaxone not IV but IM (in muscle).

Will it be as effective as IV? Has anybody had IM with good results? Or I am loosing time and it would have been better with IV?

I wonder if I should call him and ask if that was a mistake? Because he talked about IV antibiotics. But if the effect would be the same, then I am not bothered.

I hope somebody can help me here :)))

I think you should call him and clarify which one he gave you, because the price is not the same - if you are covered by insurance then maybe you don't care about the price, however it is important to know what he wanted to give you in the first place

The paper work on my rocephin says it is longer concentratuob given iv ...
did he prescribe to a infusion center ? Or give you butterfly needles ..infuserve america has home pump balls ..do yiu have a picc line ? Or a pirt ..how long do you plan on doing it .can you afford after the 30 days of insurance paid amount ...is it a llmd ..did he prescibe procaine with the needles ..? As long as you dont hit a vein it should be ok ..i guess its like bicillan but doesnt last as long ..im doing 2 grams and adc does have it for 6$a gram. But there is mixing it ,saline ,iv tube access..etc..i got a port as i plan on treating for a long time ...just some questions ...my friend uses butterly needles 3 x a week but my veins got mad after 2 months ..scar tissue builds ..professionals dont seem to care ..nurses are expensive too...the huber needle is like 30$ a week meds and saline heparin is like 250 a week

I do not like to have a needle in me over night, so they will be jabbing every day... I hope my veins will be OK. Maybe I need to ask them to do in different places. I have a young girl who keeps saying that I have bad veins... but I know, they are not so bad, it is all about who is a good jabber or not :))))
