Can Monocef injection given to hepatitis patient cause death?
Patient: Hello Sir,              My father was suffering from Liver disease.(liver was smaller in size),he was under treatment of DOCTOR since 7-8 months,recovering but on 7 feb .2014 blood was passed out from mouth and pain started..we have called doctor...doctor told for an injection MONOCEF (Ceftriaxone 1gm).We have given that injection within 15 mints he was no more....i have heard that the monocef injection is not given in Hepatic patient.I WANT TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS INJECTION OR NOT. Doctor: Monocef injection is never cause death in any patient. Unless your father has any allergy to ceftriaxone. But if he has received this injection in past,  chances are there he died because of liver failure.  History which you are giving is also very typical of liver failure,  as patient development bloody vomiting,  and  died due to this.
