Composition

• Active ingredient: Cefuroxime Axetil 250 mg

Pharmacological Action

Cefuroxime Axetil is an orally administered prodrug that is converted in the body to its active form, cefuroxime. The active compound works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Its resistance to many beta-lactamase enzymes allows it to remain effective against several bacteria that are resistant to older antibiotics.
