OVERDOSE
Information on cefdinir overdosage in humans is not available. In acute rodent toxicity studies, a single oral 5600-mg/kg dose produced no adverse effects. Toxic signs and symptoms following overdosage with other β-lactam antibiotics have included nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, diarrhea, and convulsions. Hemodialysis removes cefdinir from the body. This may be useful in the event of a serious toxic reaction from overdosage, particularly if renal function is compromised.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
OMNICEF (cefdinir) is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics.
Generic Name: Cefdinir
