Cefuroxime sodium Usage And Synthesis
DescriptionCefuroxime sodium is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company under the trade name of Kefurox® and by Glaxo Limited under the trade name of Zinacef®. Cefuroxime sodium is an off-white to white amorphous powder. Cefuroxime sodium is an injectable second generation, semisynthetic, broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with excellent activity in vitro, enhanced stability to many enterobacterial β-lactamases and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It is effective for treating meningitis, lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, septicemia, skin and skin infections, bone and joint infections, and is approved for surgical prophylaxis.References[1] Timothy J.
