Are There Off-Label Uses for Cefuroxime Axetil?
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend cefuroxime axetil for something other than treating the infections discussed in this article (this would be known as an “off-label” use). Cefuroxime axetil is used off-label to treat other types of infections, particularly if they are caused by bacteria that are susceptible to cefuroxime axetil. Also, using this medication to prevent (instead of treat) any type of infection is considered an off-label use.
