Is Intake Of Cefixime 400mg With 1g Ceftriaxone Injection Right Treatment For Pain In Muscles And Joints?
My sister was complaining about muscle aches and joint pains for a while. Aside of her discomfort she functions normal and does her day to day business fine. Recently she visited a doctor and she is prescribed cefixime 400mg combined with 1g ceftriaxone injection daily for about six days. My question, is the dosage and the drug combination ok?

I do not think she is on right treatment as these are medications for infection and i do not think that your sister is having any kind of infection. So my advice is to see a second opinion from another orthopaedic surgeon.
