Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when the use of Ceroxitum 500 Tablet 4 is discontinued. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Ceroxitum 500 Tablet 4 contains cefuroxime (500 mg), which works in the body as follows:

Hydrolysis into Active Form: After oral administration, cefuroxime is rapidly converted into its active form by enzymes in your intestines and blood.
Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefuroxime works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This disruption causes the bacteria to die, helping to clear up the infection.
Stability against Beta-lactamases: Cefuroxime shows stability against many bacterial beta-lactamases. These are enzymes that can destroy many other antibiotics before they can take effect. This stability enhances cefuroxime's effectiveness in managing bacterial infections.
