Description
Cefuroxime 250mg tablets (Skycef 250) contain cefuroxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and certain types of Lyme disease.
Cefuroxime works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial death. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
The tablets are taken orally.
The typical adult dose ranges from 250 mg to 500 mg twice daily, depending on the severity and type of infection. Tablets are generally taken with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach discomfort. Treatment duration usually lasts 7 to 10 days but can vary based on the infection and clinical response.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. Allergic reactions may also occur and require medical attention.
Cefuroxime is contraindicated in patients allergic to cefuroxime, other cephalosporins, or penicillin antibiotics. It may interact with other medications such as blood thinners and live vaccines, so medical supervision is recommended.
Patients with kidney impairment or other medical conditions should inform their healthcare provider before use.
