What is Cefurise?
Cefurise is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. Cefurise works by stopping bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, leading to bacterial death.
What is the usual dose of Cefurise?
For Cefurise, adults typically take 250–500 mg every 12 hours, depending on the infection. Children’s doses are calculated based on weight, generally 10–15 mg/kg every 12 hours, with a maximum of 500 mg twice daily. Always follow your doctor's advice.
How do I take Cefurise?
Take Cefurise tablets after meals to enhance absorption. Shake the oral suspension well before each dose and measure it using the prescribed device. Avoid acidic drinks like orange juice as they may interfere with the medicine.
For how long do I take Cefurise?
