cefuroxime

Cefuroxime was patented in 1971, and approved for medical use in 1977. Besides, this antibiotic is used to treat and prevent a number of bacterial infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and urinary tract infections. There’s also a systematic review that found high quality evidence that injecting the eye with cefuroxime after cataract surgery will lower the chance of developing endophthalmitis after surgery. Basically, Cefuroxime works by interfering with a bacteria's ability to make a cell wall resulting in its death. As for the side effects of this antibiotic, they are generally well-tolerated and are usually transient. If ingested after food, Cefuroxime is both better absorbed and less likely to cause its most common side effects of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headaches/migraines, dizziness, and abdominal pain compared to most antibiotics in its class. It is worth noting that the use of cefuroxime in pregnancy and breastfeeding is believed to be safe
