Cefuroxime (PO) is commonly used for which conditions?

AOM, CAP
Diabetes management
Chronic heart failure
Psychiatric disorders

The correct answer is: AOM, CAP

Cefuroxime (PO) is commonly used for conditions such as Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). These are bacterial infections where cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, is effective in treating the underlying bacterial cause of these infections. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, diabetes management, is incorrect as cefuroxime is not used for managing diabetes. Option C, chronic heart failure, is also incorrect as cefuroxime is not indicated for this condition. Option D, psychiatric disorders, is incorrect as cefuroxime is not used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders but rather for bacterial infections as stated earlier.
