The benefits of SC administration have been proven for hydration but are still debated for antibiotics because tolerance remains uncertain, especially in the frail geriatric population. Here, we aimed to improve current knowledge concerning the tolerance profile of ceftriaxone SC administration at both the systemic and cutaneous level, as well as in terms of pain.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Patients and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This was a prospective descriptive study of SC ceftriaxone tolerance in a geriatric department. We included all patients over 75 years of age who received a prescription for SC ceftriaxone in our hospital over a 5 month period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We evaluated the systemic and local tolerance of SC ceftriaxone.

Finally, there were no serious local adverse effects and two systemic adverse effects were observed (one diarrhoea and one Clostridioides difficile colitis). Pain was mainly related to the skin breach and oedema formation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n
