Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking. It has bactericidal activity against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation and autolysin activation, leading to cell lysis.
1-2 g intravenously or intramuscularly every 24 hours. Maximum dose: 4 g daily.
1-2 g IV/IM every 4-6 hours; maximum 12 g/day.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 5.8-8.7 hours in adults, prolonged to 12-24 hours in elderly, and up to 30-72 hours in neonates. No dose adjustment in renal impairment alone; adjust in severe hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life: 0.5-1 hour (normal renal function); prolonged to 2-3 hours in anuria. Clinically, dosing every 6 hours is recommended.
Renal (33-67% unchanged) and biliary (up to 40% as unchanged drug and microbiologically inactive metabolites); fecal elimination of unabsorbed drug is minimal. Dose adjustment required in combined renal and hepatic impairment.
Renal: 70-80% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; biliary: minimal (<5%); fecal: <1%.
