Yes, Cefuroxime can treat gonorrhea which is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae which provides relief to the patient from fever, painful urination and abnormal discharge from reproductive organs (penis or vagina).

Yes, Cefuroxime covers some anaerobes such as Peptococcus niger but most strains of Clostridium difficile and Bacteroides fragilis are generally found to be resistant to Cefuroxime.

No, Cefuroxime is not a sulfa drug. It contains cefotaxime which belongs to the class of drugs known as cephalosporins. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic which covers a wide range of bacteria which are generally found to be resistant to penicillin.

Yes, Cefuroxime can treat strep throat or streptococcal pharyngitis which is an infection of the throat that results in a sore throat caused by bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes.

Cefuroxime contains cefuroxime which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by preventing the cell wall synthesis in bacteria by binding to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins). The cell wall protects the bacteria from the environment, in the absence of this cell wall, the bacteria becomes vulnerable and dies. Cefuroxime is effective against a wide range of both gram negative and gram positive bacteria such as Moraxella catarrhalis, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus pneumoniae, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
