INDICATIONS: Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is effective against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacterial cells, thereby preventing their growth and replication. Cefurox comes in the form of 500 mg tablets for oral administration. It is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis, as well as skin and soft tissue infections. Cefuroxime is generally well-tolerated, but may cause some adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and allergic reactions. Like other antibiotics, it should be used with caution to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Overall, cefurox offers an effective treatment option for bacterial infections in both adults and children over the age of three months. |
