Active composition
Cefuroxime binds to penicillin-binding proteins, inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis and compromising bacterial cell wall integrity.
Medical applications
Zurox 500 Tablet contains Cefuroxime 500mg, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and Lyme disease.
Cefuroxime acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Zurox 500 is administered orally and is well absorbed with good bioavailability. It is generally prescribed based on the susceptibility of the causative organism and the site of infection. Dosage and duration of therapy should be tailored according to the severity of infection and patient-specific factors such as renal function.
Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances like diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain, while hypersensitivity reactions such as rash or anaphylaxis are rare but require immediate medical attention. Caution is advised in patients with a history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy. Use during pregnancy and lactation should be under medical supervision. Zurox 500 Tablet should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and kept out of reach of children.
