Product Information
Description: Cefuroxime Sodium is the sodium salt form of cefuroxime and a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase-resistant, bactericidally active, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which interferes with the final transpeptide step required to cross-link the peptidoglycan units, which are the building blocks of the cell wall which ultimately leads to cell lysis.
   
Stability and Solubility Advice: Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details.
