Why is Cefzil prescribed?

Cefzil (Cefprozil) is used to treat various bacterial infections, including bronchitis (an infection of the airways leading to the lungs), as well as infections of the ears, sinuses, skin, throat, and tonsils. It belongs to a class of medications known as cephalosporin antibiotics.

What does it do?

Cefprozil works by destroying certain bacteria, preventing them from forming their cell wall.

How should I take it?

Oral Tablets: Cefprozil is taken by mouth, typically once every 12 or 24 hours for 10 days as typical duration of treatment, with or without food.

In children, the dosage of Cefprozil is based on weight. Be sure to follow all dosing instructions carefully when administering this medication to a child.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss Cefzil, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only the next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses at once.

It is crucial to finish the full prescribed course of Cefzil, even if your symptoms improve or disappear. This helps reduce the risk of future infections becoming resistant to Cefzil or other similar antibiotics.

What are the special precautions before taking Cefzil?

Inform your healthcare provider about all your health conditions, as well as any prescription or over-the-counter medications you are taking. This information will help them decide if Cefprozil is appropriate for you.

Be sure to discuss the following in particular:

• An allergy to Penicillins and/or Cephalosporins
• A history of gastrointestinal issues
• A history of antibiotic-associated diarrhea
• Liver issues
• Phenylketonuria
• Kidney problems

Cefprozil is effective only for certain bacterial infections and will not work for viral infections like the common cold, flu, or coronavirus. It also doesn’t treat other non-bacterial infections. Using Cefprozil or any antibiotic when not needed may reduce its effectiveness for future bacterial infections.

Regarding interactions, there are no known issues between Cefprozil and foods or drinks. While the effects of alcohol on Cefprozil are unclear, heavy drinking can impair your immune system and hinder your body’s ability to fight infection.

Does it have any side effects?

Seek emergency medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction to Cefzil, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of your face or throat, or if you have a severe skin reaction (burning eyes, skin pain, fever, sore throat, and a red or purple rash with blistering and peeling).

Common side effects may include:
• Abnormal liver function tests
• Diaper rash
• Nausea or diarrhea
• Vaginal itching or discharge
Serious side effects may include:
• Easy bruising or unusual bleeding
• Seizures
• Fever, chills, sore throat, or mouth sores
• Pale or yellowing skin, confusion, dark urine, fever, or weakness
• Severe stomach pain, or diarrhea that is watery or bloody (even if it occurs months after your last dose)
• Kidney issues, such as little or no urination, fatigue, swelling in the feet or ankles, or shortness of breath
This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. For medical advice about side effects, contact your doctor.
Is it safe to take it with another drug?
Always inform your healthcare provider about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you are taking.

Be sure to mention if you are using any of the following before taking Cefprozil:

• Estradiol
• Ethinyl Estradiol
• Levonorgestrel
• Probenecid, a medication commonly used to treat gout
• An aminoglycoside antibiotic, such as amikacin or gentamicin, which is administered by injection to treat infections
This may not be a complete list of medications that could interact with Cefprozil. Always consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
How should I store it?
Store this medication in its original container, tightly closed, and out of the reach of children. Keep the tablets at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture.
What action should I take in case of overdose?
If you or someone else has taken too much Cefprozil, seek immediate medical help by calling your doctor or go to emergency department.
Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
Pregnancy: The effects of Cefprozil on pregnancy or an unborn baby are not fully known. Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Breastfeeding: Cefprozil can pass into breast milk. Let your healthcare provider know if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. They will guide you on whether it's safe to take Cefprozil while nursing.
