About to start IV Rocephin. An abnormal MRI showed the bacteria in my brain. :/ How much do people generally take?

the usual dose is 2g or 4 g a day

some people will "pulse" the abx on a 4 day on, 3 day off type schedule

others infuse every day

it all depends on what your doctor prescribes

btw, what did they find on your mri spesifically?

were there malformations or growths or lesions?

hope you feel better soon
