Cefuroxime

Cefuroxime is an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, which is used to treat bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial growth, allowing the body’s immune system to fight off the infection effectively.
Cefuroxime is typically prescribed for a variety of infections, including respiratory infections (e.g., sinusitis, pneumonia), urinary tract infections, skin infections, and ear infections. In some cases, it may also be used as prophylaxis before certain surgeries to prevent infection.
This medication can be administered in various forms, such as oral tablets or liquid, and intramuscular or intravenous injections. The specific dosage and duration depend on the type of infection being treated, the patient’s age and overall health, and other factors. Complete the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure the best outcomes and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Possible side effects of cefuroxime are generally mild and may include diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. However, more severe reactions, such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing) or kidney damage, are rare but possible. Inform your healthcare provider of any adverse effects experienced during treatment to determine the best course of action.
