Cefuroxime Axetil is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat many different bacterial infections such as uncomplicated urethral and endocervical gonorrhea, sinusitis, strep throat (pharyngitis and tonsillitis), chronic bronchitis, bladder infection (cystitis), otitis media (middle ear) infection, early Lyme Disease and skin infections (folliculitis, impetigo, erysipelas, cellulitis, furuncles, carbuncles, and non-perirectal abscesses).
Take each dose of Cefuroxime with a full glass of water. Cefuroxime can be taken on an empty stomach or with food or milk if it causes stomach upset. Take all of the Cefuroxime that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated. Do not take Cefuroxime at the same time as antacids (e.g., Tums, Maalox, Rolaids, others) or other medications taken to reduce stomach acid such as cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB, others), famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcid AC, Pepcid RPD, others), ranitidine(Zantac, others), or nizatidine (Axid, others) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Antacids and stomach acid reducers may reduce the effectiveness of Cefuroxime.
