Uses & Benefits
Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea (as per physician advice).
How It Works
Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is effective only against bacterial infections, not viral illnesses.
Directions for Use
Tablet to be taken orally as prescribed by a doctor. Usually taken after food to improve absorption; swallow whole with water. Complete the full prescribed course even if you feel better; do not skip doses.
Prescription-only antibiotic; use only for confirmed/suspected bacterial infection. Do not use if allergic to cefuroxime/cephalosporins; use caution in patients with penicillin allergy. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment. Prolonged use may cause superinfection (e.g., fungal) and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea/Clostridioides difficile; seek medical help for severe/persistent diarrhoea. Inform doctor if you have history of colitis, severe kidney disease, or are on anticoagulants.
