Besides Ceclor, Ceftin is another cephalosporin antibiotic that is successfully used in the treatment of severe infections. Ceftin antibiotic is recommended only when the doctors are positive that the infection is determined by bacteria. Most frequently, this drug is used in the treatment of infection of the ears, sinuses, lungs, respiratory airways and urinary tract. According to several tests that have been performed by scientists, this type of antibiotic also seems to be effective in the treatment of gonorrhea. The Lyme disease, if it is discovered at an early stage, may also be treated by using Ceftin.
Things to Know Before Taking Ceftin
Before starting a treatment based on Ceftin antibiotic, the patients must report to their doctor if they have any allergic reactions to penicillin or to other antibiotics like Ceclor, Cefzil or Keflex. In the majority of the cases, people who are allergic to these are also allergic to Ceftin. If, however, people use this antibiotic despite their allergic reactions, the result may be life-threatening. If breathlessness or skin rash are observed soon after taking this drug, the patients must look for medical care at once.
Frequent Drug Interactions
In some cases, Ceftin antibiotic may interact with probenecid, which represents a gout medication. If people experience diarrhea, they must report to their doctor before treating this problem. Some medication, like Lomotil, determines the diarrhea to become even more severe. Also, if using diuretics while following a treatment based on Ceftin, another drug interaction may be observed. This time, the kidneys are affected in a very serious manner.
Taking Ceftin during Pregnancy
Although the reactions determined by this drug during pregnancy have not been observed properly, all the women who are pregnant, intend to become pregnant or who are breast-feeding must talk to the doctor immediately. This must happen before starting the treatment based on Ceftin. This drug is present in breast milk and it is believed to harm the nursing newborn. If an alternative medication cannot be used, then breast-feeding must be interrupted until the treatment based on Ceftin antibiotic is finished.
