Cefuroxime Axetil 500 mg is a prescription antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, helping the body eliminate susceptible bacteria. A healthcare professional may prescribe it for selected infections involving the throat, sinuses, ears, respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, or soft tissues, depending on the diagnosis and local treatment guidelines. Cefuroxime Axetil is an oral prodrug that is converted into its active form in the body. The 500 mg strength is not suitable for every patient or every infection. The appropriate dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of infection, kidney function, age, and medical history. This antibiotic does not treat viral illnesses such as influenza or the common cold. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed and complete the recommended treatment unless your doctor advises otherwise. Inform your healthcare professional about any previous allergy to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, kidney problems, or other medicines you take. Seek medical attention for severe allergic reactions, persistent diarrhoea, or worsening symptoms.
