Cefuroxime is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, β-lactamase-resistant, second-generation cephalosporin. The compound was patented in 1971. It has increased stability to β-lactamases, which can widen the spectrum so that many organisms that are resistant to cephalosporins in general are susceptible to Cefuroxime.
Cefuroxime is soluble in water
