Used For:

Cefuroxime sodium is a broad-spectrum antibiotic in the cephalosporin class. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchitis), urinary tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and certain types of meningitis. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Cefuroxime sodium is commonly administered intravenously or intramuscularly in hospital settings.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of cefuroxime sodium include pain or swelling at the injection site, diarrhea, nausea, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. More serious side effects, although rare, can include allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing), severe diarrhea (possibly due to Clostridium difficile), and liver or kidney issues. Prolonged use can also lead to fungal infections, such as oral or vaginal thrush.

Precautions:

Cefuroxime sodium should be used with caution in individuals with a history of allergies to penicillins or other cephalosporin antibiotics, as cross-reactivity may occur. It should also be used carefully in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, as dose adjustments may be necessary. Like other antibiotics, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using cefuroxime sodium to ensure its safety for both the mother and the baby
