Kefezy (Cefuroxime)

Cefuroxime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis. Cefuroxime is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it useful for treating a wide range of infections such as respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and certain types of meningitis. It is available in various formulations including oral tablets, suspension, and intravenous injection, allowing for flexibility in treatment administration depending on the severity and type of infection. Like other antibiotics, cefuroxime may cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and allergic reactions, though serious adverse effects are rare. It is generally considered safe and well-tolerated when used appropriately under medical supervision.
