Furex Tablet 500 mg contains Cefuroxime Axetil, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used to treat moderate to severe bacterial infections. Cefuroxime Axetil works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, weakening the bacterial cell wall and causing cell death. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, providing reliable treatment for a wide range of infections.

Furex 500 mg is the higher-strength oral formulation, ideal for adults and older children requiring enhanced antibacterial coverage. The axetil prodrug formulation ensures high oral bioavailability, allowing efficient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and rapid systemic distribution to combat infections effectively.
