Therapeutic Class
Second generation Cephalosporins
Pharmacology
Cefuroxime is one of the bactericidal second generation cephalosporin antibiotics, which is active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative susceptible organisms including many beta-lactamase producing strains. It is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by sensitive bacteria.
Clavulanic acid has a similar structure to the beta-lactam antibiotics but binds irreversibly to the beta-lactamase enzymes.
Clavulanic acid protects Cefuroxime from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibacterial spectrum of Cefuroxime to include many bacteria normally resistant to Cefuroxime and other cephalosporins.
Dosage
Pharyngitis or Tonsillitis: 250 mg twice daily for 5-10 days
Acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis: 250 mg twice daily for 10 days
Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis: 250-500 mg twice daily for 10 days
Secondary bacterial infections of acute bronchitis: 250-500 mg twice daily for 5-10 days
Community acquired pneumonia: 250-500 mg twice daily for 5-10 days
Uncomplicated skin & skin-structure infections: 250-500 mg twice daily for 10 days
Multidrug resistant typhoid fever: 500 mg twice daily for 10-14 days
Uncomplicated urinary tract infection: 250 mg twice daily for 7-10 days
Uncomplicated gonorrhea: 1000 mg once single dose
Lyme disease: 500 mg twice daily for 20 days
Administration
Cefuroxime & Clavulanic Acid may be administered without regard to meals.
Interaction
Probenecid: Concomitant administration of probenecid with Cefuroxime increases the area under the serum concentration versus time curve by 50%. The peak serum Cefuroxime concentration after a 1.5 gm single dose is greater when taken with 1 gm of probenecid than without probenecid.
Antacids: Drugs that reduce gastric acidity may result in a lower bioavailability of Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acids compared with that of fasting state and tend to cancel the effect of postprandial absorption.
Oral contraceptives: In common with other antibiotics, Cefuroxime may affect the gut flora, leading to lower estrogen re absorption and reduced efficacy of combined oral estrogen/ progesterone.
Contraindications
It is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid or to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics.
Side Effects
Generally Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid are well tolerated. However, a few side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort or pain may occur.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Both Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid are pregnancy category B. Cefuroxime is excreted in human milk; consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with Cefuroxime.
