Antibiotics

• Cefuroxime sodium is the sodium salt form of cefuroxime and is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase-resistant, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.
• It is a second-generation cephalosporin that, like penicillin antibiotics, contains a ?-lactam ring structure. Cephalosporins function as a bactericidal antibiotic; by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, they inhibit the final step in bacterial cell wall synthesis. This results in weakening of the bacterial cell wall and cell lysis.
