Furex Tablet 250 mg contains Cefuroxime Axetil, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Cefuroxime Axetil works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which weakens the cell wall and leads to bacterial cell death. Its broad-spectrum activity covers many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for both common and more complicated infections.

As an orally administered antibiotic, Furex 250 mg provides convenient outpatient therapy for adults and children. The axetil prodrug form enhances absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring higher bioavailability and effective systemic distribution to combat infections.
