User Reviews for Rocephin intravenous

I received an injection of rocephin on 7/22/10.Within 1 hour i was in severe pain in my thighs and arms. It was so bad i ended up in the emergency room. On sat.7/24/10 i was admitted to the hospital. They gave me iv vancomicyn which made things worse. It has now been 10 weeks and i am still in pain and have severe numbness in my right leg from my knee to my ankle, numbness in both arms and numbness above my left knee. My doctor swears it was not from rocephin but can't tell me what caused it. I haven't been able to work for ten weeks. Please Help.Read More Read Less

This medication has helped me with many of my lyme symptons. I was unable to walk before treatment and am now walking.

spent 30 days on iv and lost 30 pounds within the following month 1/2 stayed in remission for 6 years and am about to go back on it again for bartonella since it was undiagnosed before and i have the same symptoms now and it kept it under wraps for so many years, it gave me absolutely no side effects whatsoever, it was easier than the oral antibio, it just costs more. not the drug itself but having the iv inserted and nurse f/u.

I was sick for 2 weeks with a lower respiratory infection before I went to seemy doctor. He gave me a shot of Rocephin around noon and I was 100% better the next day. I had no side effects as mentioned by others on this site.

This medication made me so sick. All I had was a UTI. They gave me this at the ER and I got dizziness, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, I thought I was going to have a seizure!

Immediate severe, instant, adverse reaction with burning of eyelids, lips, tongue, mouth, face, skin on arms, shoulders and stomach. I thought I would die, the feeling of burning was so bad. I felt dizzy, like I would pass out, and within 5 minutes I had to have a bowel movement. I was given an anti-histamine injection and the symptoms subsided after about 15 minutes. I would NEVER take this drug again!

this treatment is awsome. I love drugs.

Used medication for prostate infection it took 21 (1gram) shots to get results. Very in convenient with having to take shots, finally started to get better after treatment.

received Rocephin IV in hospital emergency care. Severe allergic reaction within two minutes of IV administration! Eyes swelled up, as did half my face. Throat started to swell, as well as hives. Ears and nose itching severe. Nurse took out IV, then administered a benedryl type drug thru IV! Breathing machines! A flurry of docs in & out! Terrible experience. 1 week now, eyelids still somewhat swollen!

Inflamation and soreness in a cut in the gum was relatively unchanged; soreness persisted even though my chest was cleared of congestion that largely, was not a problem before the injection.

I was also diagnoses about 3 years prior to Lyme with MS. I am GRAVELY allergic to Rocephin but was forced into the ICU for desinsitization to the drug since it was my only treatment option(allergic Penecillin too). So far desensitization seems successful, though initial 48 hours in ICU were a little rough. 2 weeks into another 4 weeks of treatment and the swollen Lyme arthritic knees are healing and I can walk again without tremendous pain. So far so good. Just wanted to share my apparent success with temporarily disarming my ROcephin allergy with my immunologist, and a fleet of doctors and nurses to get the treatment I needed desperately.Read More Read Less

I had to have a IV 3 times with this stuff due to a bad skin infection that turned the skin around it to cellulitis. Please be carfull this drug it gave me C. difficile (a severe infection of the colon). You think i would have learned after the first time but no i did it again. Now i have a sensitivity to alot of antibiotics not fun with cronic skin infections.

I got a severe rash on my arms, hands and legs from this drug given IV. From my knees down it was the worst, large blisters that left scars. It started as tiny red spots on my thighs. No one listened when I told them it could be an allergic reaction, and all the doctors that saw it said they had never seen a Rocephin rash that bad before. Needless to say it's now on my drug allergy list.

My husband is in the hospital and is getting this every 24 hrs. I noticed on the 2nd day he has a horrible, raised, red rash. It's all over the upper part of his body (waist up) and on his head.

this drug can cause a reaction of nevousness, tingling, rage.

it gave excellant effect and no side effects at all when given diluted over 200 cc saline but with the 9th day just after the injection my son eveloped rigors thenafter few hours red rash over his body followed after one day with calf muscles pain
