✔️ How does Axim Powder for Suspension work?

Axim Powder for Suspension 60 ml contains cefuroxime. It is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to build their protective outer cell walls. Without these cell walls, the bacteria cannot survive, grow, or multiply in your child's body. By stopping the growth of these harmful bacteria, the medicine helps clear the infection and supports your child's recovery.
