How It Works

Oxispa 250mg Tablet contains Cefuroxime which binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins located inside the bacterial cell wall. This inhibits the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death of susceptible bacteria.

Duration of Action

Cefuroxime reaches peak plasma concentrations within 2-3 hours after oral administration. The plasma half-life is approximately 1.5 hours, with antimicrobial activity persisting for 8-12 hours per dose.

Dosage

Warnings

Oxispa 250mg Tablet should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporin antibiotics. Cross-sensitivity may occur in patients with penicillin allergy. Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents and may range from mild to life-threatening.

Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and skin rash. Less common effects include allergic reactions, transient increases in liver enzymes, changes in blood counts, and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Oxispa 250mg Tablet should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Cefuroxime passes into breast milk in small amounts. Consult your healthcare provider before using this medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Interactions

• Probenecid (increases Cefuroxime levels)
• Antacids and H2 blockers (reduced absorption)
• Oral anticoagulants (enhanced effect)
• Oral contraceptives (possible reduced effectiveness)
• Nephrotoxic drugs (increased risk of kidney toxicity)
• Bacteriostatic antibiotics (possible antagonistic effect)

Precautions

Take Oxispa 250mg Tablet exactly as prescribed. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve before completion. Take with food to enhance absorption. Maintain adequate hydration during treatment. Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms.

Important Information
