Cefuroxime Sodium 750mg Injection is effective in treating several types of bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Intra-abdominal infections (e.g., peritonitis, abdominal abscesses)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Bone and joint infections
Bloodstream infections (sepsis)
Pelvic infections (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease)

Severe allergic reactions (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, or throat, difficulty breathing, anaphylaxis)
Severe gastrointestinal issues (e.g., colitis, blood in stools)
Blood disorders (e.g., low white blood cell count, low platelet count)
Liver dysfunction (e.g., jaundice, liver enzyme elevation)
Kidney problems (e.g., reduced urine output, kidney dysfunction)
Seizures (in rare cases)
If any of these serious side effects occur, seek immediate medical attention.
How to Use Cefuroxime Sodium 750mg Injection
Cefuroxime Sodium 750mg Injection is administered by a healthcare provider, either through an intravenous (IV) drip or intramuscular (IM) injection. The dosage and frequency of administration are determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's infection, age, and overall health status. The injection should not be self-administered.
To ensure effectiveness, the full course of treatment should be completed as prescribed, even if the symptoms improve before the treatment is finished. Stopping the medication early can lead to a recurrence of the infection or antibiotic resistance.
How Cefuroxime Sodium 750mg Injection Works
Cefuroxime Sodium is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall. The cell wall is essential for bacterial survival, and when its synthesis is inhibited, the bacteria become weakened, causing them to break apart and die. This action helps to clear the infection from the body. Cefuroxime Sodium 750mg Injection is effective against a wide range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
