Ceftin Drug Class and Mechanism

Ceftin is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacteria's cell wall so that the wall ruptures, resulting in the death of the bacteria.

Ceftin Uses

Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has been widely available in the USA since 1977. It is also available under the brand name Ceftin. Glaxo Smith Kline sells the antibiotic in Australia (and other countries, such as Cyprus, Israel and Poland) under the name Zinnat, with the Australian pharmaceutical code of R 47621. In the Philippines, a brand name Shincef has been used. In Poland it is also produced by the Polish firm Bioton S.A. under the name Biofuroksym. In Cyprus, the box of the 500mg tablets is white with a wide red stripe on the left and contains two blister cards of seven. The tablets are long white and are marked "GX EG2". The Cypriot license for this is 16847. The 250mg tablets come in a similar box with a blue stripe.Take Ceftin by mouth with or without food. Swallow Ceftin whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing. Ceftin works best if it is taken at the same time each day. To clear up your infection completely, take Ceftin for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.

Ceftin Side Effects

Cefuroxime is generally well tolerated and side effects are usually transient. Cefuroxime if taken with food is both better absorbed and less likely to cause its commonest upsets of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Although there is a widely quoted cross-allergy risk of 10% between cephalosporins and penicillin, recent assessments have shown no increased risk for cross-allergy for cefuroxime and several other 2nd generation or later cephalosporins.
