A member asked:
Is cefixime safe to take if you're allergic to penicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: The likelihood of having an allergic reaction to cefixime is under 10%. If you have had an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin, then I would recommend that you consult an allergist but even this recommendation will be debated among allergists.
