Comparative trial of cefuroxime axetil in recurrent urinary tract infections illustrating importance of 6-week follow-up

W Brumfitt et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

Women with recurrent urinary tract infections treated with cefuroxime axetil (500 or 250 mg twice daily) for 7 days had a higher relapse rate when tested 6 weeks after the start of treatment than those given amoxycillin (250 mg three times daily). The poor performance of cefuroxime axetil is explained by variable bioavailability.
