Effectiveness

How Ceftin Affects PatientsCefuroxime is an antibiotic that interferes with the growth of certain bacteria. It works by blocking the formation of the walls that surround and protect the bacteria, which kills them. Cefuroxime is effective against bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Borrelia burgdorferi. Cefuroxime ax
How Ceftin works in the bodyCefuroxime works like penicillins. It attaches to proteins inside bacteria cells and stops the bacteria from making their cell walls. This leads to the breakdown of the cells, killing them. It may also prevent the bacteria from making an enzyme that stops cell breakdown.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed amount of Ceftin is contingent upon the identified ailment, including Gonorrhea, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Bone and Joint Infections. The sum of dosage is determined by the methodology of delivery (e.g. Intravenous or Tablet, film coated) as specified in the table below.

Ceftin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
Ceftin is the only antibiotic that doesn't make my chronic constipation worse, and I really appreciate that. It's also helped me avoid other problems, like yeast infections, that come with taking other antibiotics.

Ceftin for Lyme Disease
I've been on this medication for almost a month now, and was initially worried about side effects. The worst one I've experienced is constipation, but it seems to be helping with my Lyme disease symptoms. I take 500mg twice a day, and have had no problems tolerating it on an empty stomach.

Ceftin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I generally have a lot of anxiety and negative side effects when taking antibiotics, but this medication was different. It didn't make me feel as bad. The taste is really gross when swallowing it, but i had no other side effects. I was prescribed to take 2 pills a day for 3 days and i felt better by the second day but i finished all 6 pills.

Ceftin for Strep Throat and Tonsillitis
Despite the terrible taste, I'm really glad I took this medication. I woke up feeling great after the first dose, and my back pain (which has been constant since spinal surgery four months ago) completely disappeared. I highly recommend it to anyone in a similar situation!

Is Ceftin in the penicillin family?

"Amoxicillin and Ceftin are two different types of antibiotics. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic, while Ceftin is a cephalosporin antibiotic. Both medications can cause side effects like diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and rash. Allergic reactions are also possible with both amoxicillin and Ceftin."

Is cefuroxime stronger than amoxicillin?

"Our results showed that cefuroxime axetil given twice a day was just as effective in treating acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis as amoxicillin/clavulanate given three times a day, but cefuroxime axetil caused fewer side effects."
