Expert advice for Ceftriaxone
Your doctor has prescribed Ceftriaxone to cure your infection and improve symptoms.
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
Discontinue Ceftriaxone and inform your doctor immediately if you get a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or have difficulty in breathing.
Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should stop when your course is complete. Inform your doctor if it doesn't stop or if you find blood in your stools.
If you're on blood thinners, Ceftriaxone can interact with your medications and increase your bleeding tendencies.
Expert advice for Tazobactum

If you are suffering from diarrhea before, or during the treatment with the drug.
