Drug safety alert: IPC flags adverse reactions linked to Cefuroxime

The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), through its recently issued drug safety alert for the month of April, has revealed that a cephalosporin antibiotic Cefuroxime is linked with Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome.

This came after preliminary analysis of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) database.

Cefuroxime, like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefuroxime interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
