The purpose of this antibiotic is to get rid of any meningococcal germs being 'carried' in the throat of contacts, so that they cannot lead to infections in other people. This clearance antibiotic cannot treat someone who is already developing the disease, so you still need to look out for symptoms and signs of meningococcal disease. Ceftriaxone is given as a single injection into muscle tissue, such as in the thigh or buttock. Ceftriaxone is safe in pregnancy and in breastfeeding women. You should not have ceftriaxone if you: are allergic to ceftriaxone or other cephalosporin antibiotics or have ever had a severe or immediate allergic reaction to penicillin antibiotics. Side effects of ceftriaxone Side effects of ceftriaxone are rare, but may include oral or vaginal thrush (candida), diarrhoea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, altered sense of taste, and a fast or irregular heart beat. You should seek medical attention if you are concerned by any of these symptoms. A very rare side effect is an allergic reaction - if you develop facial swelling, tightness in the throat, breathing difficulties, severe itching or a rash you should seek medical attention immediately (ring 000).
