ed nephrotoxicity as singular agents. Limited but conflicting data with other cephalosporins have been noted.
Famotidine: Avoid the concomitant use of H2-blockers and cefuroxime. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as H2-blockers, can interfere with the oral absorption of cefuroxime axetil and may result in reduced antibiotic efficacy.
Famotidine; Ibuprofen: Avoid the concomitant use of H2-blockers and cefuroxime. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as H2-blockers, can interfere with the oral absorption of cefuroxime axetil and may result in reduced antibiotic efficacy.
Furosemide: Cefuroxime's product label states that cephalosporins may potentiate the adverse renal effects of nephrotoxic agents, such as aminoglycosides and loop diuretics. Carefully monitor renal function, especially during prolonged therapy or use of high aminoglycoside doses. The majority of reported cases involve the combination of aminoglycosides and cephalothin or cephaloridine, which are associated with dose-related nephrotoxicity as singular agents. Limited but conflicting data with other cephalosporins have been noted.
Gentamicin: Cefuroxime's product label states that cephalosporins may potentiate the adverse renal effects of nephrotoxic agents, such as aminoglycosides and loop diuretics. Carefully monitor renal function, especially during prolonged therapy or use of high aminoglycoside doses. The majority of reported cases involve the combination of aminoglycosides and cephalothin or cephaloridine, which are associated with dose-related nephrotoxicity as singular agents. Limited but conflicting data with other cephalosporins have been noted.
H2-blockers: Avoid the concomitant use of H2-blockers and cefuroxime. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as H2-blockers, can interfere with the oral absorption of cefuroxime axetil and may result in reduced antibiotic efficacy.
Ibuprofen lysine: Use caution in combining ibuprofen lysine with renally eliminated medications like cephalosporins, as ibuprofen may reduce renal blood flow.
Kanamycin: Cefuroxime's product label states that cephalosporins may potentiate the adverse renal effects of nephrotoxic agents, such as aminoglycosides and loop diuretics. Carefully monitor renal function, especially during prolonged therapy or use of high aminoglycoside doses. The majority of reported cases involve the combination of aminoglycosides and cephalothin or cephaloridine, which are associated with dose-related nephrotoxicity as singular agents. Limited but conflicting data with other cephalosporins have been noted.
Lansoprazole: Avoid the concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and cefuroxime. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as PPIs, can interfere with the oral absorption of cefuroxime axetil and may result in reduced antibiotic efficacy.
Lansoprazole; Naproxen: Avoid the concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and cefuroxime. Drugs that reduce gastric acidity, such as PPIs, can interfere with the oral absorption of cefuroxime axetil and may result in reduced antibiotic efficacy.
Lanthanum Carbonate: Oral compounds known to interact with antacids, like cefuroxime, should not be taken within 2 hours of dosing with lanthanum carbonate. If these agents are used concomitantly, space the dosing intervals appropriately. Monitor serum concentrations and clinical condition.
