Uses:-
Cefuroxime 1.5gm Injection is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This injection is commonly prescribed to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and certain types of meningitis. Cefuroxime is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is often used when other antibiotics are not suitable or have failed to clear the infection.
Side Effects:-
While Cefuroxime 1.5gm Injection is generally safe and well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, or dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, more severe side effects such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing), severe diarrhea (with or without blood), liver or kidney problems, or changes in blood cell counts may occur rarely. Patients should seek medical attention if they experience any unusual or severe symptoms.
Indication:-
Cefuroxime 1.5gm Injection is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is particularly useful in infections where high levels of antibiotic activity are required, or when the bacteria are resistant to other antibiotics. The dosage and duration of treatment with this injection will depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and medical history. It is essential to follow the prescribed regimen carefully and to complete the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
