Ceftin (generic name: Cefuroxime)
Uses
Ceftin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections such
as bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, ear infections, skin infections,
gonorrhea, and urinary tract infections.
How to take this medication
Take each dose of Ceftin with a full glass of water. Ceftin can be taken
on an empty stomach or with food or milk if it causes stomach upset. Take
all of the Ceftin that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to
feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is
completely treated. Do not take Ceftin at the same time as antacids (e.g.,
Tums, Maalox, Rolaids, others) or other medications taken to reduce stomach
acid such as cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB, others), famotidine (Pepcid,
Pepcid AC, Pepcid RPD, others), ranitidine(Zantac, others), or nizatidine
(Axid, others) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Antacids and
stomach acid reducers may reduce the effectiveness of Ceftin.
Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking
Ceftin and immediately seek emergency medical attention or contact your
doctor immediately:
- an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat;
swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; hives; or a rash);
- rash, redness, or itching;
- severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea;
- mucous or blood in the stool; or
- unusual bleeding or bruising. Other, less serious side effects may
also occur.
Continue to take the medication and talk to your physician if you experience
any of the following:
- mild nausea or diarrhea, or
- yeast infection of the mouth or vagina.
Precautions
Before taking CIPRO, tell your doctor your medical history especially
of: epilepsy, kidney disease, tendon problems, nervous system disorders,
liver disease, blood vessel problems, any drug allergies. Use caution
driving or performing tasks requiring alertness if CIPRO makes you dizzy
or lightheaded. Limit alcohol intake because it may add to the dizziness/drowsiness
effects. CIPRO can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun
exposure. Wear protective clothing and a sunscreen if you become sun-sensitive.
CIPRO should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
the risks and benefits with your doctor. This drug is excreted into breast
milk. You may have to stop nursing or stop taking CIPRO. Consult you doctor
before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Do not take Ceftin at the same time as antacids (e.g., Tums, Maalox, Rolaids,
others) or other medications taken to reduce stomach acid such as cimetidine
(Tagamet, Tagamet HB, others), famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcid AC, Pepcid RPD,
others), ranitidine(Zantac, others), or nizatidine (Axid, others) unless
otherwise directed by your doctor. Antacids and stomach acid reducers
may reduce the effects of Ceftin. Before taking Ceftin, tell your doctor
if you are taking any of the following medicines: probenecid (Benemid);
a loop diuretic (water pill) such as furosemide, bumetanide (Bumex), torsemide
(Demadex), or ethacrynic acid (Edecrin); warfarin (Coumadin); or another
antibiotic.
Missed Dose

it as soon as remembered; do not take it if it is near the time for the
next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing
schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
