Hi,
Ceftum (cefuroxime) is a cephalosporin antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria like UTI. It is considered to safe during pregnancy. Most of the time a UTI is not serious if treated by suitable antibiotics. However, an untreated UTI can cause complications during pregnancy like pyelonephritis (kidney infection) which is more dangerous than a bladder infection.
If a pyelonephritis is not treated and becomes severe, it could lead to sepsis (bacteria in the blood), anemia, respiratory distress, and septic shock in the pregnant mother. Untreated UTI can also affect the baby by leading to premature rupture of the membranes, intrauterine growth retardation, an early birth and low birth weight baby
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
