Action

Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics: The serum half-life after either intramuscular or intravenous administration is approximately 70 minutes. After intramuscular injection the peak serum level occurs after about 45 minutes. The antibiotic can be found in bone, synovial fluid and aqueous humour above the minimum inhibitory levels for common pathogens. The blood-brain barrier can be passed by cefuroxime when the meninges are inflamed. Cefuroxime is excreted approximately 50% by glomerular filtration and 50% through the renal tubules. Cefuroxime is almost completely recovered unchanged in the urine within 24 hours, most being excreted within six hours.
