Answer: Ceftin(cefuroxime axetil) is a semi-synthetic cephalosporin type antibiotic.

Ceftin is very effective against gram negative organisms and has fairly good gram positive coverage.
Since cefuroxime is chemically related to penicillin, patients allergic to penicillin may develop an allergic reaction (sometimes even anaphylaxis) to cefuroxime. Cefuroxime like other antibiotics can alter the colon 's normal bacteria, leading to overgrowth of a bacterium called Clostridium difficile.
