How Cefuroxime Works (Simple Explanation)
Think of bacteria as invaders building protective walls around themselves. Cefuroxime acts like a demolition crew—it attacks and destroys the bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to break down and die. Because it works on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, it's effective against many types of infections:
- Respiratory infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia)
- Urinary tract infections (UTI) and bladder infections
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Ear infections (acute otitis media)
- Gonorrhea and early Lyme disease
