What is Cefuroxime: Uses, Side Effects, and Care about?
Cefuroxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia, and UTIs. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Nurses should assess patients for signs of infection, monitor liver and renal function, and ensure the full antibiotic course is taken despite symptom resolution to prevent antibiotic resistance.
