This observation will help reduce the risk of problems that may occur. You should read the section "What to be aware of" in section 4.

Be careful when taking Xorimax

Severe skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have occurred with cefuroxime treatment.
