Pharmacology:
Cefuroxime Axetil is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed in the body to Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.

Children: Dose adjusted based on weight and age (typically 10–15 mg/kg twice daily)

Administration:

Interaction:

Probenecid increases Cefuroxime levels
Concomitant use with potent diuretics (e.g., furosemide) may increase risk of nephrotoxicity
Always inform your doctor about any other medicines being taken.
