The antiinflammatory effect of bronchitis is achieved by directly inhibiting mediators such as macrophages and T lymphocytes.

For treatment of pneumonia, the patient prescribed IV ceftriaxone. However, in a study comparing intravenous gatifloxacin and intravenous ceftriaxone in the treatment of pneumonia, intravenous gatifloxacin was administered intravenous ceftriaxone It was more significantly effective. Ceftriaxone is as tolerable as easy. However, another study in Pennsylvania showed that Ceftriaxone is significantly more effective in eradicating community pneumonia than Enalapam and that intravenous ceftriaxone is still an effective treatment for pneumonia It is. According to BNF, ceftriaxone must be monitored in patients with severe renal impairment with creatinine clearance of less than 10 mL / min This is true if Mr. Y's creatinine clearance is only 0 8 mL / min . Thus, if the condition of the patient improves, the dose of intravenous ceftriaxone can be reduced to a maximum of 2 mg per day, and the drug can be discontinued once the patient has completely recovered.
