Cefdinir (antibiotic) - OK to take?


[Li...]

Recommended Posts

My doc has just prescribed cefdinir for a confirmed-by-culture bacterial infection.  Cefdinir is an antibiotic in the cephalosporin class.  I used the Search tool in BB using both terms (cefdinir and cephalosporin) and ... here’s a shock ... have found some posts indicating cefdinir is safe to take during BWD and others indicating the the entire class of cephalosporin drugs can cause issues.

 

So, is cefdinir ok to take or not?  If not, what are my options?

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are the ones we know for certain to avoid. Other than that, as far as I know any known or perceived bad reactions are most likely to be unrelated to benzodiazepines.

Hope that helps.

Dear HopeToDoThis and Challis99:  You are my heroes!  I respect both of you very much and greatly appreciate your swift and reassuring responses.  I’ve now also checked with my pharmacist (who is “benzo-aware”) and he thinks it should be fine as well.  Whew - what a relief!  Gratefully yours, Libertas

This medication should be fine for you. I've taken it before until I had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin so I have to avoid any 'penicillin' derivatives.
