A member asked:

Can i take motrin pm with omnicef (cefdinir) have the flu and a headache this type or sometnig else would be nice thank you

According : According to drugs.Com, there are no interactions listed for these two medications. You should not have a problem using both together, though you may want to make sure you take them with food. Motrin and Omnicef (cefdinir) separately can upset your stomach. If you have any additional questions give your doctor a call. I hope this helps!
