How it Works

How Cefdinir works: Cefdinir is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming the protective covering (cell wall) necessary for their survival.

Side Effects

Expert Advice

  • Your doctor has prescribed Cefdinir to treat your infection and alleviate your symptoms.
  • Do not skip any doses and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better.
  • Stopping the medication early may make the infection more difficult to treat.
  • Discontinue Cefdinir and inform your doctor immediately if you experience:
    • A rash
    • Itchy skin
    • Swelling of the face or mouth
    • Difficulty breathing
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should resolve once your treatment course is complete.
  • Notify your doctor if diarrhea persists or if you notice blood in your stools.
  • Take Cefdinir with food to minimize the risk of an upset stomach.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Cefdinir, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Can I drink milk while taking Cefdinir?
Yes, you can drink milk while taking Cefdinir. It is recommended to take it with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. Consult your doctor if you experience any discomfort.
Can the use of Cefdinir cause diarrhea?

What if I forget to take a dose of Cefdinir?

What should you avoid while taking Cefdinir?
