These reactions are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of β-lactam hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens. Compared to the Doxycycline, this drug barely shows any side effects at all! Last edited by ticker; 01-10-2005 at 03:59 PM.

Cefuroxime is a cephalosporin (SEF a low spor in) antibiotic. Of the total number of subjects who received Cefuroxime Axetil in 20 clinical trials, 375 were aged 65 and older while 151 were aged 75 and older. Oral thrush barely noticeable. Cefuroxime Axetil is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Cefuroxime Axetil or other β-lactam antibacterial drugs If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against The possibility of superinfections with fungal or bacterial pathogens should be considered during therapy.Prescribing Cefuroxime Axetil either in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.A false-positive result for glucose in the urine may occur with copper reduction tests, and a false-negative result for blood/plasma glucose may occur with ferricyanide tests in subjects receiving Cefuroxime Axetil The following serious and otherwise important adverse reaction is described in greater detail in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label:Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The adverse reactions in Table 5 are for subjects (n = 912) treated with Cefuroxime Axetil in multiple-dose clinical trials.The following adverse reactions occurred in less than 1% but greater than 0.1% of subjects (n = 912) treated with Cefuroxime Axetil in multiple-dose clinical trials.The adverse reactions in Table 6 were for subjects treated with a single dose of 1,000 mg Cefuroxime Axetil in US clinical trials.The following adverse reactions occurred in less than 1% but greater than 0.1% of subjects (n = 1,061) treated with a single dose of Cefuroxime Axetil 1,000 mg for uncomplicated gonorrhea in US clinical trials.The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Cefuroxime Axetil.

I gave up on Doxycycline just after the third pill since the side effects were DEVASTATING. Cefuroxime may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. All subjects had radiographic and clinical evidence of acute maxillary sinusitis. First thing I noticed was a weird taste in my mouth a couple of minutes after swallowing my first pill (probably because it's bitter). No data are available on the absorption kinetics of the suspension formulation when administered to fasted pediatric subjects.Susceptibility to Cefuroxime Axetil will vary with geography and time; local susceptibility data should be consulted, if available. In the trial, the clinical effectiveness of Cefuroxime Axetil in treating acute maxillary sinusitis was comparable to an oral antimicrobial agent containing a specific β-lactamase inhibitor. There have been reports of individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity who have experienced severe reactions when treated with cephalosporins. Cefuroxime Axetil is a semisynthetic, cephalosporin antibacterial drug for oral administration.The chemical name of Cefuroxime Axetil (1-(acetyloxy) ethyl ester of cefuroxime) is ( Cefuroxime Axetil is in the amorphous form and has the following structural formula:Cefuroxime Axetil tablets, USP are film-coated and contain the equivalent of 250 or 500 mg of cefuroxime as Cefuroxime Axetil. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.Reducing the dosage of Cefuroxime Axetil is recommended for adult patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) Overdosage of cephalosporins can cause cerebral irritation leading to convulsions or encephalopathy. 2.
