What Is Cefdinir Used For?

Cefdinir prescription medication is sometimes used in the treatment of various conditions, including some cases of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, and sinusitis. Cefdinir medication, like cefaclor (Ceclor), cefadroxil (Duricef, Ultracef), cefixime (Suprax), cefpodoxime (Vantin), cefuroxime (Ceftin), and cephalexin (Keflex) belongs to a class of antibiotic medications known as cephalosporins and is specifically third generation. Cefdinir is thought to work by blocking cell wall synthesis in bacteria and demonstrates efficacy when other medications such as penicillin do not work because it demonstrates increased stability in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes. Cefdinir medication is frequently prescribed to amount to cefdinir 600 mg per day divided into daily or BID dosing, depending on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider.

Cefdinir - Dosage and Cost

By itself, cefdinir is solid with a white to brownish-yellow color. Cefdinir prescription medication is available in capsule and oral solution forms and is meant for oral administration. Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium and iron supplements can interfere with the absorption of cefdinir. After oral administration, plasma concentrations reach their peak in 4 hours or less and absorption is affected when taken with a high-fat meal. After absorption, cefdinir undergoes minimal metabolism and has a mean plasma elimination half-life of under 2 hours. Cefdinir is primarily excreted in the urine. Generic cefdinir is relatively affordable, costing under $1 per cefdinir 300 mg capsule at many pharmacies. Cefdinir coupons are also available online to reduce the costs associated with the medications and some insurance plans may also cover the costs associated with cefdinir tablets. Cefdinir is typically stored at 25° C but the package insert should be checked for exact instructions.

Can I Buy Cefdinir Online?

Cefdinir requires a prescription before a pharmacy will dispense the medication in the United States. As such, one cannot simply buy cefdinir online prior to first consulting with a licensed medical provider. In the US, however, people who might need a cefdinir prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe cefdinir medication when appropriate to do so.

Cefdinir - Side Effects
