Effectiveness

How Zinacef Affects PatientsCefuroxime is an antibiotic that works by blocking bacteria from forming the walls they need to survive. This makes it a "bactericidal" drug. Cefuroxime has been shown to be effective against many types of bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is also effective against Borrelia burgdorferi, which is a type of bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Cefuroxime axet
How Zinacef works in the bodyCefuroxime is an antibiotic that works by interfering with the construction of bacteria's cell walls. It binds to proteins inside the cell wall, preventing the cell wall from being built correctly. As a result, the cell wall weakens and breaks apart, leading to the destruction of the bacterial cell.

When to interrupt dosage
