Overview

Axcel Cefuroxime 125mg/5ml Oral Suspension is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as an oral suspension, with Cefuroxime 125mg/5ml (as cefuroxime axetil) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Axcel Cefuroxime 125mg/5ml Oral Suspension with food, as this improves absorption of cefuroxime axetil compared to taking it on an empty stomach. For the oral suspension, shake the bottle well before each use, and measure the dose accurately using the measuring cup or oral syringe provided rather than a household spoon. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve before it is finished.

Dosage

The dose and frequency of Axcel Cefuroxime 125mg/5ml Oral Suspension depend on the type and severity of infection, and, for the oral suspension, your child’s body weight. Your doctor will prescribe the regimen appropriate for your specific infection – always complete the full course as directed.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Dizziness

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to cefuroxime or other cephalosporin antibiotics
  • Immediate-type severe hypersensitivity (such as anaphylaxis) to penicillin, due to a small risk of cross-reactivity between penicillins and cephalosporins

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Probenecid can increase cefuroxime blood levels by reducing its elimination
  • Antacids and H2-blocker medicines that raise stomach pH may reduce absorption of cefuroxime axetil – check timing with your pharmacist
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer monitoring
  • Inform your doctor of all other medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter antacids

Quick Tips

  • Take with food to improve absorption
