Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea After Taking Cefdinir

Cefdinir 300 mg was prescribed to me today. However, on the bottle it first states, may cause diarrhea.... . I understand that many antibiotics do so. However, the next warning states diarrhea may occur weeks to month s after taking drug . This is quite disturbing. My sister is still suffering problems from what they feel are long range symptoms from taking Cipro. I normally just take the medication prescribed, but I m not sure about something that can cause problems later.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that all antibiotics may lead to diarrhea in a certain percentage of patients.

I would just recommend taking a probiotic and vitamins in order to avoid these adverse effects.

There is no way to know if you will experience such adverse effects if you do not try this drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
