Cefuroxime (Ceftin)

Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used for treating various bacterial infections.

Cefuroxime is classified as a β-lactam agent and it works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell death.

In the United States, cefuroxime is available under the following brand names:

  • Ceftin
  • Zinacef

Cefuroxime is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Because of this, it can be used to treat a wide range of infections and is often utilized for empirical therapy in community-acquired infections.

Some common bacterial infections that cefuroxime is used to treat include:

  • Upper and lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and pneumonia.
  • Infections of the skin such as cellulitis, impetigo, and wound infections.
  • Urinary tract infections such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
  • STIs such as gonorrhea.
  • Bone and joint infections such as osteomyelitis
  • Early Lyme disease

It may also be used for other infections not listed above. It’s also important to note that cefuroxime is ineffective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

Cefuroxime is available in several forms including tablets, oral suspension, IV (intravenous), and IM (intramuscular).

Cefuroxime Side Effects

Common side effects associated with cefuroxime may include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Bad taste in your mouth
  • Irritation where the shot is given (Only for injectable forms)

More serious side effects which should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately may include:

  • Fever, chills, or a sore throat
  • Seizures
  • Hearing loss
  • Vaginal itching or discharge
  • Wheezing
  • Chest pain
  • Bloody or watery stool
  • Chest pain
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes
  • Severe stomach pain

If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction call 911 or seek medical attention immediately. Signs of an allergic reaction may include rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.

The above lists of possible side effects associated with cefuroxime are not exhaustive and other side effects may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking cefuroxime, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cefuroxime

What Is the Typical Starting Dose of Cefuroxime?

Oral cefuroxime is available in 250 mg and 500 mg tablets, while the oral suspension is available in 125 mg/5 mL and 250 mg/5 mL.

The exact dosage will depend on the type and severity of the infection being treated. It usually ranges between 250 and 500 mg given once or twice a day with a maximum dosage of  1000 mg per day (it may depend on the condition). The duration of treatment can vary from 5 to 14 days depending on the infection it is used to treat, and in some cases, it may be prescribed for longer periods.

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as directed by your doctor.

How to Take Cefuroxime?

Cefuroxime should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Some general guidelines include:

Cefuroxime tablets should be taken with or without food. Take it with food if it causes an upset stomach. To ensure proper absorption and effectiveness, swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, break, or crush it. If you have trouble swallowing the tablet, talk with your doctor about the best way to take your medication.

Oral suspension of cefuroxime should be taken with food to promote better absorption and mitigate possible gastrointestinal discomfort. Before each use, shake the bottle well to mix the medication evenly. Accurate dosage is crucial; use the provided measuring device to ensure the correct amount is given. Do not use a household spoon as it may not yield a precise dose.

Do You Need a Prescription for Cefuroxime?

In the United States, cefuroxime is classified as a prescription medication and is not available over the counter. Patients must consult a healthcare provider to obtain this antibiotic.
