Head-to-Head

Clinical Matrix

Mechanism of Action

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation and autolysin activation, leading to cell lysis.

VEETIDS '500' (cefuroxime axetil) is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby blocking transpeptidation and leading to cell lysis. It has activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Clinical Dosing

Penicillin G: 2-4 million units IV every 4-6 hours; Penicillin V: 250-500 mg orally every 6 hours for mild to moderate infections.

1 tablet (500 mg) orally twice daily for 7 days.

Clinical Note

moderate

Benzylpenicillin + Teriflunomide

"The serum concentration of Teriflunomide can be increased when it is combined with Benzylpenicillin."

Clinical Note

moderate

Benzylpenicillin + Acemetacin

"Benzylpenicillin may decrease the excretion rate of Acemetacin which could result in a higher serum level."

Clinical Note

moderate

Procaine benzylpenicillin + Acemetacin

"Procaine benzylpenicillin may decrease the excretion rate of Acemetacin which could result in a higher serum level."
