Cefuroxime
Generic alternative to Ceftin
Cefuroxime is an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It belongs to a class of drugs known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria, and it is effective against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
How is this medication used?
Cefuroxime is usually taken by mouth in the form of a tablet or liquid suspension, typically twice daily (every 12 hours), with or without food. It is important to complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of resistant bacteria. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of cefuroxime may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and mild stomach upset. Rare but serious side effects include severe allergic reactions, persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of kidney problems such as changes in the amount of urine. Contact a healthcare provider if any severe reactions occur.
What are the potential interactions?
Cefuroxime may interact with certain medications such as other antibiotics, blood thinners like warfarin, or drugs that affect kidney function. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors may interfere with the absorption of cefuroxime. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
