Chances of someone getting clostridium difficile colitis from cefprozole ? and how would they know?

Same as any abx : The key to understanding the relationship between antibiotics and c diff infection, is to realize that pretty much any antibiotic that alters your normal composition of gut flora, will potentially allow c difficile to thrive unopposed, resulting in brown, watery stool along with abdominal cramping and pain.

Pretty Low: I think u r referring to cefprozil, a 2nd generation cephalosporin antibiotic. In theory any antibiotic can place you at risk for a clostridium difficile infection, but is much more likely in an elderly, hospitalized patient who might have a weakened immune system. Although Cefprozil is not particularly associated with c diff, using a probiotic or eating yogurt will help.If c diff, severe diarrhea.
