Ceftin (Cefuroxime)

Do's

• Take Ceftin exactly as directed by your healthcare provider, usually twice daily (every 12 hours). 
• Consume Ceftin with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. 
• Swallow the tablets whole, as they have a bitter taste. 
• Use the liquid suspension form instead if swallowing is difficult. 
• Take the medication evenly spaced times each day, ideally at the same time(s), to maximize its effectiveness. 
• Continue taking Ceftin for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. 
• Shake the suspension well before each use to mix the medication evenly. 
• Measure the dose carefully with a medication spoon/cup. 
• Take Ceftin oral suspension with food as directed by your healthcare provider, usually twice daily (every 12 hours).   
• Continue to take the medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection. 

Don'ts

• Do not crush or chew Ceftin tablets, as they have a strong bitter taste. 

Ceftin (cefuroxime) is available in tablet and oral suspension forms. The dosage is based on the weight of the child and the severity of the infection.

• This medication may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
• Avoid driving, operating machinery, or activities requiring alertness until you feel safe doing so.

• Discuss with your healthcare provider before getting any vaccinations while taking Ceftin. 
• Be cautious of potential side effects if you are an older adult.
