Overview

Axcel Cefuroxime 250mg Capsule contains Cefuroxime 250mg (as cefuroxime axetil) and is available as a capsule. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Axcel Cefuroxime 250mg Capsule are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Axcel Cefuroxime 250mg Capsule with food, as this improves absorption of cefuroxime axetil compared to taking it on an empty stomach. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not open or crush it. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve before it is finished.

Dosage

The dose and frequency of Axcel Cefuroxime 250mg Capsule depend on the type and severity of infection, and, for the oral suspension, your child’s body weight. Your doctor will prescribe the regimen appropriate for your specific infection – always complete the full course as directed.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Dizziness

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to cefuroxime or other cephalosporin antibiotics
  • Immediate-type severe hypersensitivity (such as anaphylaxis) to penicillin, due to a small risk of cross-reactivity between penicillins and cephalosporins

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Probenecid can increase cefuroxime blood levels by reducing its elimination
  • Antacids and H2-blocker medicines that raise stomach pH may reduce absorption of cefuroxime axetil – check timing with your pharmacist
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer monitoring
  • Inform your doctor of all other medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter antacids

Quick Tips

  • Take with food to improve absorption
  • Complete the full course even if symptoms improve early
