Daughter is very sick with sinus/brochitis/sore throat... Dr. prescribed Cefuroxime Axetil "because she took it a couple of years ago for bronchitis" and presumably was OK.  I have been researching it to see if there is any gluten or dairy in it.  Pharmacy (CVS) is three days behind in their research (!?!) and doubtful they could figure it out.  I don't even know what manufacturer of the drug they carry.  At least one manufacturer of cefuorxime axetil (Apo-cefuroxime) has discontinued the drug and I don't know if that is what she took.

Anybody have current information or experience?  I think Ceftin is another version of this drug.

Thanks!
