Zinnat, known generically as cefuroxime axetil, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the class of second-generation cephalosporins. It is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. Zinnat is effective against various types of infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It is available in tablet form for oral administration, as well as in a powder form that can be reconstituted for injection. Due to its broad-spectrum activity, Zinnat is often prescribed for patients who are allergic to penicillin or when penicillin is deemed ineffective. However, like all antibiotics, it is crucial to use Zinnat as directed by a healthcare professional to avoid the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
