It is effective against many common pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. This medication is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections including gonorrhea. It should not be used in patients with a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics or penicillins due to the risk of cross-reactivity and increased chance of allergic reactions.
