BYS Cefuroxime Sodium

Cefuroxime sodium is an enteral or oral second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.
Cefuroxime sodium is an organic molecular entity.|Cefuroxime Sodium is the sodium salt form of cefuroxime and a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase resistant, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefuroxime sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) thereby interfering with the final transpeptidation step required for cross-linking of peptidoglycan units which are a component of the cell wall. Lack of cross-linking results in a reduction of cell wall stability and leads to cell lysis.|Broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It has been proposed for infections with gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, GONORRHEA, and HAEMOPHILUS.
Cefuroxime sodium is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company under the trade name of Kefurox® and by Glaxo Limited under the trade name of Zinacef®. Cefuroxime sodium is an off-white to white amorphous powder. Cefuroxime sodium is an injectable second generation, semisynthetic, broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with excellent activity in vitro, enhanced stability to many enterobacterial β-lactamases and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections.
