Cefuroxime Pharmacology Podcast
Release Date:
On this episode, I discuss cefuroxime pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interaction, pharmacokinetics, and much more.
Cefuroxime is a 2nd generation cephalosporin that binds Penicillin-binding proteins and prevents bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Medications that create a higher pH in the stomach such as antacids can ultimately reduce the concentrations of cefuroxime.
Cefuroxime is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Dose adjustments are recommended for patients with a CrCL less than 30 mls/min.
