Use

Cefuroxime axetil (Ceftin) is the 1-acetyoxyethyl ester ofcefuroxime. During absorption, this acid-stable, lipophilic,oral prodrug derivative of cefuroxime is hydrolyzed to cefuroximeby intestinal and/or plasma enzymes. The axetilester provides an oral bioavailability of 35% to 50% of cefuroxime,depending on conditions. Oral absorption of theester is increased by food but decreased by antacids and histamineH2-antagonists. The latter effect may be because ofspontaneous hydrolysis of the ester in the intestine becauseof the higher pH created by these drugs. Axetil is used forthe oral treatment of non–life-threatening infections causedby bacteria that are susceptible to cefuroxime. The prodrugform permits twice-a-day dosing for such infections.
