Your Medication Cefdinir

Cefdinir comes in 300 mg capsules, 125 mg/5 mL and 250 mg/5 mL oral suspension.

Cefdinir liquid needs to be stored at room temperature and shaken well before each dose is given. Use the measuring device received from the pharmacist or doctor. Any liquid remaining after 10 days needs to be thrown away.

Cefdinir is most commonly used for bacterial infections. No matter what your doctor has you taking it for, cefdinir is usually taken by mouth with or without food usually once to twice a day. If upset stomach occurs take cefdinir with food. If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you think about it. If it is close to time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.

It is important to take this medication until the fully prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear.

Do not take dairy products, antacids, multivitamins, or other products that contain calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or zinc at the same time as cefdinir. They should be taken 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking cefdinir as they will decrease the effectiveness of cefdinir if taken at the same time.

Some common side effects with cefdinir include upset stomach, and diarrhea.
Some less common side effects with cefdinir include headache, skin rash, reddish discolored stools, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

While taking cefdinir, remember it is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you:

• Have signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, tightness of the chest, etc.)
• Are pregnant or plan on getting pregnant.
• Are breast-feeding.
