Cefuroxime brand name and generic name?

What is the brand name and generic (chemical) name for cefuroxime?

Cefuroxime is the generic name. The brand name depends on the country and the specific formulation (tablet vs. injection).

Is there one single brand name for cefuroxime?

No. Cefuroxime can be sold under different brand names by different manufacturers, and those brands vary by market. To find the exact brand name(s) for your location and dosage form, you usually need the country plus whether it is cefuroxime axetil (oral) or cefuroxime (parenteral).

What should I look for on the label?

On many products, the active ingredient will be written as:
- “cefuroxime” (often for injection), or
- “cefuroxime axetil” (often for oral tablets/suspension).

If you share the country and whether you have a tablet, suspension, or injection, I can help narrow down the most likely brand names.
