Can Immodium Or Kaopectate Be Taken Along With Cefdinir?
Can you take immodium or kaopectate with cefdinir? I ve gotten diarrhea from the antibiotic and a yeast infection as well. Am out of town right now so had to buy monistat for the yeast infection. Is it ok to take all three of these things together?

HI
Thanks for posting your query.
No you should not take Immodium. Not because it has got interactions with Cefdinir but Immodium should not be used in Infectious diarrhoea.
If diarrhoea is more than 4-5 times per day you can use probiotics like Enterogermina but don't take Immodium as it may cause complications in exacerbating Abdominal Infection.
Also make sure you hydrate yourself well by drinking plenty of fluids .
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free top ask .
Regards.
