Description
Cefuroxime suspension 70ml (UK) contains cefuroxime, an antibiotic from the cephalosporin class used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, and urinary tract infections.
Cefuroxime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, causing bacteria to break down and ultimately die. It is effective against a broad range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
The suspension is an oral liquid form, often prescribed for children or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
Dosage varies depending on the infection type, patient age, and weight. It is typically taken twice daily, with or after food, to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. The exact dose and length of treatment are determined by a healthcare provider.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rash, and allergic reactions. If severe allergic reactions or persistent diarrhea occur, medical attention is required.
Cefuroxime should not be used by patients with a history of allergy to cefuroxime, other cephalosporins, or penicillin antibiotics. Potential drug interactions include blood thinners and live vaccines. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of existing medical conditions and any other medications being taken.
