Indications & Clinical Uses

Ceroxitum 250 is indicated for the treatment of specific infections caused by susceptible strains of designated microorganisms. These include upper respiratory tract infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis, as well as acute bacterial otitis media. It is also used for lower respiratory tract infections like acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ceroxitum 250 may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Some individuals may experience transient elevations in liver enzymes or headaches. Serious but rare adverse reactions can include severe hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis), Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), and pseudomembranous colitis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of an allergic reaction or severe, persistent diarrhea.

Precautions & Warnings

Before taking Ceroxitum 250, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any known allergies to cefuroxime, other cephalosporins, penicillins, or other beta-lactam antibiotics due to the risk of cross-sensitivity. Caution is advised for individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis, or renal impairment, which may require dosage adjustments. This medication is classified as Pregnancy Category B and should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.

Avoid Interactions

Ceroxitum 250 may interact with other medications, potentially altering their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Co-administration with oral contraceptives may reduce their effectiveness, requiring alternative birth control methods. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as antacids, H2 antagonists, or proton pump inhibitors, can decrease the absorption and bioavailability of cefuroxime axetil. Additionally, concurrent use of probenecid can increase and prolong blood levels of cefuroxime.
