Used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Commonly administered in hospital settings for severe infections and is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Frequently used in surgical prophylaxis to prevent infections during and after procedures. Also a standard treatment for bacterial meningitis due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Often chosen for its once-daily dosing convenience, especially in outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT). Widely used in pediatric and adult populations for treating community-acquired pneumonia and complicated ear, nose, and throat infections. Employed in the management of gonorrhea, particularly in cases of penicillin allergy. Its long half-life allows for less frequent administration, improving patient compliance in extended treatment courses.
