Cefuroxime Axetil is a bactericidal antibiotic that acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, which prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, a crucial step in the formation of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to the lysis and death of the bacterial cell.

• •Hypersensitivity to cefuroxime or any other cephalosporin antibiotics
• •History of severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any other type of beta-lactam antibacterial agent (e.g., penicillins, carbapenems, monobactams)

Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Symptoms of overdose include cerebral irritation leading to convulsions. Management is primarily supportive. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis can aid in the removal of cefuroxime from the body.

Pregnancy Category B. Studies in animals have not shown harm to the fetus. Limited data in pregnant women suggest no increased risk of major birth defects. Use in pregnancy only if clearly needed. Cefuroxime is excreted in breast milk in small amounts; use with caution in breastfeeding mothers.
