Ceftin (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."

Ceftin (cefuroxime) "I took cefuroxime , a high dose for a bacterial bladder infection. I go t 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 & I'm in a wheelchair."

Ceftin (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."
