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 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."

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."
