Cefuroxime injection is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria including pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract (lung) infections; meningitis (infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord); gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease); and skin, blood, bone, joint, and urinary tract infections. Cefuroxime injection may also be used before, during, and sometimes for a brief period after surgery in order to prevent the patient from getting an infection. Cefuroxime injection is in a class of medications called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria.
Antibiotics such as cefuroxime injection will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
How should this medicine be used?
Cefuroxime injection comes as a powder to be mixed with liquid to be injected intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle). Cefuroxime injection is also available as a premixed product to be injected intravenously. It is usually given every six or eight hours for five to ten days.
You may receive cefuroxime injection in a hospital or you may administer the medication at home. If you will be receiving cefuroxime injection at home, your healthcare provider will show you how to use the medication. Be sure that you understand these directions, and ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions.
You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment with cefuroxime injection. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, call your doctor.
Use cefuroxime injection until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using cefuroxime injection too soon or skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
