How Furoxime 500 Works

Cefuroxime, the active component, targets bacterial cell walls and prevents their synthesis. This weakens the bacterial structure and ultimately destroys it. As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, Furoxime is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It does not treat viral infections like the common cold or flu but is highly effective against bacterial infections when used appropriately.
