How Does Cefuroxime 125mg Dry Syrup Work?

Cefuroxime belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. It works by:

  • Inhibiting Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Prevents bacteria from building their cell walls, causing them to weaken and die.

This action helps to clear infections efficiently and prevents the spread of bacteria in the body.

How to Use Cefuroxime 125mg Dry Syrup

  1. Dosage: Use Cefuroxime 125mg Dry Syrup as prescribed by your pediatrician. The dosage is determined based on the child’s weight, age, and severity of the infection.

  3. Administration: Measure the exact dose using the provided measuring cup or syringe for accurate dosing.
  4. Timing: Administer at evenly spaced intervals, preferably at the same times daily, to maintain consistent drug levels.
