Cefditoren

Cefditoren is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Cefditoren too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

Cefditoren should be taken with food or milk to avoid stomach upset. Also, food intake enhances the absorption of the medicine thereby helping in faster recovery. Remember, Cefditoren should never be taken on an empty stomach as it may trigger diarrhea (loose motions).

Yes, the use of Cefditoren can cause diarrhea. Cefditoren is an antibiotic which kills the harmful bacteria, but it can also affect the helpful bacteria in your stomach or intestine and cause diarrhea. If diarrhea persists, talk to your doctor about it.

If you forget a dose of Cefditoren, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Usually, Cefditoren starts working soon after you take it. However, it may take some days to kill all the harmful bacteria and relieve your symptoms completely.
