Cefuroxime Axetil 500mg Tablets
SKU GME638Product Introduction
Cefuroxime axetil tablets are an oral cephalosporin treatment for susceptible bacterial infections, including selected respiratory, skin and urinary infections. The axetil ester is converted to active cefuroxime after absorption.
How to use
Take tablets after food to improve absorption and swallow intact. Complete the prescribed course. Tablets and suspension are not interchangeable milligram for milligram without checking the applicable instructions.
How it works
Active cefuroxime binds penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting bacterial cell-wall synthesis.
Side effects
Diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, headache and rash may occur.
Important information
Tell your doctor about serious penicillin or cephalosporin allergy, renal impairment and previous antibiotic-associated colitis. Acid-reducing medicines can lower absorption.
Uses
- Susceptible bacterial infections for which oral cefuroxime is appropriate
Benefits
Helps clear susceptible respiratory, skin and urinary bacterial infections so infection-related pain, fever and discomfort can improve.
Why take the tablet after a meal?
Food increases absorption of cefuroxime axetil tablets.
Can I crush a tablet for a child?
Crushing produces a very bitter taste; ask about a suitable formulation instead.
Can suspension replace tablets using the same milligrams?
Not automatically. Exposure differs between formulations.
Will it treat a viral cold?
No. It treats susceptible bacterial infections.
Can antacids or acid-suppressing medicines matter?
Yes. Reduced gastric acidity can impair absorption; have timing and suitability reviewed.
Does kidney impairment affect dosing?
Reduced clearance can require a modified schedule.
What if severe diarrhoea occurs after finishing?
Antibiotic-associated colitis can occur after treatment and needs assessment.
Can it be shared with someone with similar symptoms?
No. Similar symptoms may have a different cause or require a different antibiotic.
