Cefuroxime
Q. How long does Cefuroxime take to work?
The amount of time Cefuroxime takes to work depends on the type of infection and response of the patient to the medicine.

Q. How long should you take Cefuroxime?
The duration of therapy with Cefuroxime depends upon the type of infection. It is usually given for 7 days. It ranges from 5 to 10 days and depends on the response of the infection in the patient. Before starting the medication consult a doctor who will prescribe the exact duration of therapy and follow the instructions as given.
Q. Can Cefuroxime be taken on an empty stomach?
No, Cefuroxime should not be taken on an empty stomach like other antibiotics of its class. It should be taken twice daily after a meal. Taking Cefuroxime with food increases the absorption rate of the drug. This further enhances the effectiveness of the medicine to treat the infection.
