Patients with known hypersensitivity to Cefuroxime or any of its components should avoid this medication. This includes symptoms like rash, itching, or swelling.
If you have a history of gastrointestinal issues like colitis, discuss this with your physician. Cefuroxime can potentially worsen these conditions. Your doctor will assess the risks and benefits.
Kidney or liver problems require careful monitoring while on Cefuroxime. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or frequency based on your specific condition.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding require specific considerations. Discuss the use of Cefuroxime with your doctor to weigh potential risks against benefits to you and your child.
Always inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Interactions with other drugs can occur.
If you experience unexpected side effects, like severe diarrhea or unusual bleeding, contact your doctor immediately.
