Axim Tablet 500 mg contains Cefuroxime Axetil, an oral second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a broad range of bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. Cefuroxime Axetil is a prodrug that is converted into its active form, Cefuroxime, after absorption in the body. It works by preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, leading to the destruction of the bacteria and resolution of the infection.

Axim Tablet is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is commonly prescribed for infections involving the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, ears, nose, and throat. It is also used in the treatment of certain sexually transmitted infections and early Lyme disease where appropriate. By eliminating the bacteria responsible for infection, Axim Tablet helps relieve symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, painful urination, and skin inflammation while promoting faster recovery.

This medicine is intended for the treatment of bacterial infections only and is not effective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. To achieve the best results and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance, patients should complete the full course of treatment exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

How Axim Tablet Works

Cefuroxime Axetil is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and converted into Cefuroxime, the active antibiotic. Cefuroxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), causing the bacterial cell wall to weaken and rupture. This bactericidal action effectively eliminates susceptible bacteria and helps clear the infection.
