Ceftin
Directions
Take each dose of Ceftin with a full glass of
water. Ceftin can be taken on an empty stomach or with food or milk if it
causes stomach upset. Take all of the Ceftin that has been prescribed for
you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve
before the infection is completely treated. Do not take Ceftin at the same
time as antacids (e.g., Tums, Maalox, Rolaids, others) or other medications
taken to reduce stomach acid such as cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB,
others), famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcid AC, Pepcid RPD, others),
ranitidine(Zantac, others), or nizatidine (Axid, others) unless otherwise
directed by your doctor. Antacids and stomach acid reducers may reduce the
effectiveness of Ceftin.
