Question 1

what is the definition or description of: omnicef allergy?

Omnicef allergy: Omnicef (Cefdinir) is an antibiotic.  An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For potential adverse effects see:   http://www.rxlist.com/omnicef-drug.htm

Question 2

i wanted to know is it possible to have an allergy to omnicef (cefdinir) but not amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Omnicef (cefdinir) is in a group of antibiotics called cephalosporin's. Amoxicillin is in the penicillin group. While there is some cross allergies to the 2, they are separate chemicals.

Question 3

been treated for uti's which return. usually on omnicef to prevent them when needed. doctors are looking into why this happens (endometrosis, etc). now i have bronchitis like symptoms, fevers, mucus drainage, no allergies, just seasonal and antihistimes d

Accepted Answer

Uti's: Recurrent uti can occur after vaginal intercourse,taking baths instead of showers,wearing very tight jeans,or from structural anatomic abnormalities of the urinary tract. A Urologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you. If bronchitis is not improving a course of appropriate antibiotics should help.

Question 4

i was told i have diverticulitis. its being treated with cefdinir due to allergies to other drugs. will cefdinir help any? how long should i notice improvement? :) i been having bouts of consipation and narrow like stool. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Constipation and narrow-like stool are not the typical symptoms of diverticulitis. Nowadays, most mild to moderate cases of diverticulitis are self limited, no need for antibiotic therapy and cefdinir is not often used for treating diverticulitis. Good luck.

Question 5

will liquid omnicef (cefdinir) cause my five month old to have a black tongue?

Accepted Answer

Colored tongue: Impossible to answer without complete history. Discoloration of the tongue can be from many causes-often the color of a liquid or food. It is often caused by yeast also. When some one is on antibiotics the oral flora changes - bacteria is less, yeast increase; bacteria can also cause color changes. Some diseases, variants may cause changes. See a specialist in oral disease-trained in oral medicine.

Question 6

i am taking clomfranil10mg'omnicef.can these meds cause dark brown stools and constipation and gas but no pain in abdomen?

Accepted Answer

Clomfranil: Constip is listed as a possible side effect of clom.  I would keep taking the clom, but increase my water and fiber intake. Oatmeal, berries, apples, orange juice with pulp are all tasty foods with fiber.  Many cereals are available too both as a meal substitute as well as a snack.  FIber gummies are a great choice as well.

Question 7

is it ok to take phenermine with omnicef (cefdinir) and tussicaps..which are amazing by the way(tussicaps)?

Accepted Answer

Not really: I would not taking your appetite suppressant together wit  tussicaps because of possible drug interaction with central nervous  system since tussicap have chlrorephenamine(antihistamine with sedation effect)  and hydrocodone.I would not take your Phentermine till you are better with your cough.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Similar toxicity profile.
