How CEFUREX CV Works
Cefuroxime Axetil belongs to the cephalosporin group of antibacterial medicines. After oral administration, the body converts it to cefuroxime, which acts against susceptible bacteria.
As a result, cefuroxime interferes with bacterial cell-wall formation and helps stop bacterial growth.
Therefore, the medicine can help treat infections caused by bacteria that are susceptible to cefuroxime. However, it does not treat viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
Common Side Effects
Some people may experience side effects while taking Cefuroxime Axetil.
Common effects may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stomach discomfort
- Headache
However, side effects can vary from person to person. If severe diarrhea, a serious skin reaction, or signs of an allergic reaction occur, seek medical attention promptly.
In addition, DailyMed lists gastrointestinal effects and serious hypersensitivity reactions among important safety considerations for cefuroxime axetil.
CEFUREX CV Safety Information
Use CEFUREX CV only under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to:
- Cefuroxime
- Cephalosporin antibiotics
- Penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics
Also, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems or a history of serious antibiotic-related reactions.
In addition, tell your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements you currently take. Some medicines can affect how cefuroxime works.
Do not stop the prescribed antibiotic course early unless your healthcare professional tells you to do so.
Furthermore, do not use antibiotics for viral infections unless a healthcare professional specifically advises you to do so.
