Composition

• Active ingredient: Cefuroxime Axetil 125 mg per 5 ml after reconstitution

Pharmacological Action

Cefuroxime Axetil is an orally administered prodrug that is converted in the body to its active form, cefuroxime. Cefuroxime acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. It is resistant to many beta-lactamase enzymes, allowing it to remain effective against bacteria that are resistant to several other antibiotics.

• Upper and lower respiratory tract infections such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, and mild pneumonia

• Urinary tract infections

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Early-stage Lyme disease

• Other uncomplicated bacterial infections as determined by the physician

Dosage and Administration
