Cefuroxime "I have painful bladder syndrome and was having many infections. I have been using Ceftin 250 mg once a day for a year and have had no infections since the use of this medicine has been added to my routine."

Cefuroxime "I have been on Cefuroxime 250 mg tabs (generic for Ceftin) for 3 months, and my bladder infection has not improved. In fact, my urine is more bloody and continues getting worse. I have told my Dr. and requested a different, hopefully more effective antibiotic, but she keeps pushing this one. I am about to change doctors if she does not change it or my condition worsens more."

Cefuroxime "I took cefuroxime, a high dose for a bacterial bladder infection. I got a massive side effect of setting my butt on fire. It still burns, and I had to take an antifungal to stop it, which just made it burn less. I'm still using a steroid powder. But I still burn, and I'm in a wheelchair."

"When I was 17, I took Ceptin for a bladder infection and had a major allergic reaction: round red circles and floating blurred vision. Yesterday, I went to the emergency for staph on my arm, they gave me cephalexin, the same antibiotic category as Ceptin. They knowingly gave this to me: heart racing. Looks like it’s already helping my arm. I’m disappointed in our medical people."

"Excellent tablet, 5-day course for bladder infection. No more lower pain in front and no more smell in urine. No side effects except a bad taste in mouth when taking it. 500 mg x 2 a day. Feel better after one day of taking it. Take yogurt with your breakfast, 3 tablespoons."

Cefuroxime "This is harder on the stomach, and I miss my usual med for this, but it seems to have lessened the urgency. I had no burning, but I do have the low backache and pressure."
