Among these infections are strep throat, tonsillitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Most important fact about CefprozilIf you are allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics in any form, consult your doctor before taking Cefprozil. An allergy to either type of medication may signal an allergy to Cefprozil; and if a reaction occurs, it could be extremely severe. If you take the drug and feel signs of a reaction, seek medical attention immediately. How should you use Cefprozil?Your doctor will only prescribe Cefprozil to treat a bacterial infection; it will not cure a viral infection, such as the common cold. It"s important to take the full dosage schedule of Cefprozil, even if you"re feeling better in a few days. Not completing the full dosage schedule may decrease the drug"s effectiveness and increase the chances that the bacteria may become resistant to Cefprozil and similar antibiotics. Cefprozil works fastest when taken on an empty stomach, but can be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. Cefprozil oral suspension should be shaken well before using. --If you miss a dose... Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions... Store Cefprozil tablets at room temperature. Keep the oral suspension in the refrigerator; discard any unused portion after 14 days. What side effects may occur?Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine whether it is safe for you to continue taking Cefprozil. The most common side effect is nausea.
Although not reported for Cefprozil, similar antibiotics have been known occasionally to have severe side effects such as anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction), skin rash with blisters, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a rare skin condition characterized by severe blisters and bleeding in the lips, eyes, mouth, nose, and genitals), and "serum-sickness" (itchy rash, fever, and pain in the joints). Why should Cefprozil not be prescribed?If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to Cefprozil or other cephalosporin antibiotics, do not take Cefprozil. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced. Special warnings about CefprozilCefprozil occasionally causes colitis (inflammation of the bowel) leading to diarrhea. Some diarrhea medications can make this diarrhea worse. Check with your doctor before taking any diarrhea remedy. Oral contraceptives may not work properly while you are taking Cefprozil. For greater certainty, use other measures while taking Cefprozil. Your doctor will check your kidney function before and during your treatment with Cefprozil. Use Cefprozil with caution if you are taking a strong diuretic, or if you have ever had stomach and intestinal disease, particularly colitis. If new infections (called superinfections) occur, talk to your doctor. You may need to be treated with a different antibiotic. Cefprozil may alter the results of some urine sugar tests for diabetics. Your doctor can advise you of any adjustments you may need to make in your medication or diet. Possible food and drug interactions when taking CefprozilWhen Cefprozil is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Cefprozil with the following: Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeedingThe effects of Cefprozil during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Cefprozil does appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. If Cefprozil is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to stop breastfeeding until your treatment with Cefprozil is finished.
