Why You'll Love It

Cefuroxime is an effective medication used to combat various bacterial infections. It is particularly useful in treating conditions such as bronchitis, gonorrhea, Lyme disease, and infections of the skin, ears, sinuses, throat, tonsils, and urinary tract. This versatile drug is available in both tablet and suspension form, allowing for easy administration by mouth. The recommended dosage typically involves taking cefuroxime every 12 hours for a duration of 5-10 days, depending on the specific infection being treated. In the case of gonorrhea, a single dose of cefuroxime is sufficient, while Lyme disease requires a 12-hour interval dosage for a period of 20 days.
