What is Cedax Used For? Cedax is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections.
How To Use Cedax
Take Cedax by mouth as directed usually once a day for 10 days. This is best taken on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore take Cedax at the same time each day. Continue to take Cedax until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection.
Cedax Side Effects
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness or headache may occur. If these symptoms continue or become severe, inform your doctor promptly. Unlikely to occur but report promptly: fever, easy bleeding or bruising, personality changes, black stools, skin changes, joint pain, yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, a change in the amount of urine, seizures. An allergic reaction to Cedax is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: difficulty breathing, skin rash, hives, itching. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
