How Should Cefdinir Be Taken?
I am on a third round of antibiotics this one is called Cefdinir 300MG capsule...for an ecoli infection in the urinary tract. I am allergic to all sulfa drugs at 75 years of age, I have been plagued with UTI s There was not that much information on the medicine container, usually the pharmacists send a long sheet...I have learned not to eat dairy before and for at least 2 hours after the Cefdinir....no antacids etc. I do not ant to get an upset stomach and before this prescription i was augmenting...I ate large amounts of food before taking the medicine, but I need more explicit info about what to do with this Cefdinir? Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* The consumption of Cefdinir can be done irrespective of meal intake. However, 2 hour gap is mandatory if consumption of aluminium or magnesium containing molecule is concomitant.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Wish you fine recovery.
Take care.
