Pharmacological Properties:
Cefuroxime exerts its effects by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing cell lysis and death. It demonstrates broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and exhibits good tissue penetration.
Indications for Use:
Axetin coated tablets are indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
