A member asked:
Scared to get picc line. can 1 gram of rocephin for 21 days be given any other way? scared of heart issues or blood clot or infection with picc .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A PICC placement: is simple, nearly painless and very convenient. You should be more scared of an incompletely treated infection. Oral antibiotics will not be as effective if your health care provider feels you need IV instead. There is no alternative administration other than restarting a peripheral IV every day to receive your dose. Your veins will wear out quickly with that.
