What is cefuroxime?
Cefuroxime is an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It works by combating bacteria in the body.
Cefuroxime is prescribed for various types of bacterial infections, including severe or life-threatening cases.
Important Information
Do not use cefuroxime if you have a known allergy to cefuroxime or to similar antibiotics, including cefdinir, cefprozil, cephalexin, and others.
Before using this medication
To ensure cefuroxime is safe for you, please inform your doctor if you have:
This medication is generally considered safe for unborn babies. Notify your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Cefuroxime may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Consult your doctor about using non-hormonal birth control methods (like condoms or a diaphragm with spermicide) to prevent pregnancy.
Cefuroxime can enter breast milk and may be harmful to a nursing infant. Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
Cefuroxime is not recommended for individuals younger than 3 months old.
How should I take cefuroxime?
Follow all instructions on your prescription label. Do not take more or less cefuroxime than directed, and do not extend the duration of use without guidance.
You may take cefuroxime tablets with or without food. Do not crush the tablet as it may have a bitter taste.
If you have a liquid form of cefuroxime, shake it well before measuring a dose. Use the dosing syringe provided, or a special measuring spoon or medicine cup for accurate measurement. If you lack a measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
When switching from the tablet to liquid form of cefuroxime, the milligram dosage may not be identical. It is vital to use the exact form and strength prescribed by your doctor for optimal effectiveness.
Complete the full prescribed course of cefuroxime, even if your symptoms improve before the infection is fully cleared. Missing doses may increase the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections. Cefuroxime is ineffective against viral infections, such as influenza or the common cold.
This medication may yield unusual results in certain urine glucose tests. Ensure any treating physician is aware that you are using cefuroxime.
Store cefuroxime tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
