Cefuroxime Axetil  250 mg Tablets

Cefuroxime Axetil 250 mg Tablets: Cefuroxime is a drug from the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, used for the treatment of a large number of bacterial infections. It is used to treat urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, uncomplicated gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease), and Lyme disease.

Cefuroxime consists of Cefuroxime, an extended-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the functioning of the enzyme that synthesizes peptidoglycan (an essential part of the bacterial cell wall). The bacterial cell is therefore unable to grow and reproduce and is ultimately destroyed.

Cefuroxime can cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea and stomach upset, Candida overgrowth (fungal infection of the skin), and a mouthful of disgusting taste. Such side effects tend to disappear after a while. Nevertheless, in case the side effects continue, visit your doctor.
