Photos Omnicef OMNICEF 300MG CAPSULES Omnicef (cefdinir) 125 mg/5 ml How To Use HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: Take this medication by mouth with or without food, as directed. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. Avoid taking antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, sucralfate, iron preparations or vitamin/mineral products within 2 hours of taking this medication. These products may bind with the medicine and prevent its absorption. Side Effects Diarrhea or nausea may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Report promptly unusual vaginal discharge/itching. Very unlikely but report promptly seizures, changes in amount or color of urine, stomach pain, persistent fever, easy bruising or unusual fatigue. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Precautions Tell your doctor your medical history, including any allergies (especially to penicillin/cephalosporin antibiotics such as cefuroxime), bowel disease (colitis) or kidney disease. Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast infection). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this drug. In a small test, cefdinir was not shown to be excreted into breast milk. However, other drugs related to cefdinir are excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Missed Dose If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up. Drug Interactions Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially gout medication (e.g., probenecid), antacids (with aluminum or magnesium), vitamins/minerals, iron supplements or sucralfate. Though unlikely, this medication may decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about other types of birth control. This drug may interfere with certain laboratory tests. Inform lab personnel you are using this medication. This medication may cause false positive results in tests for sugar in the urine.
