- Capsules can be taken with or without food, though food may reduce mild stomach upset.
- Stopping the antibiotic early increases the risk of the infection returning or becoming resistant.
Drug Interactions
- Probenecid: Increases cephradine levels in the blood by slowing its removal from the kidneys.
- Oral anticoagulants: Cephradine can occasionally increase the effect of blood thinners like warfarin.
- Live typhoid vaccine: Antibiotics including cephradine can reduce the vaccine's effectiveness if given close together.
- Other cephalosporins: Combining with other cephalosporin antibiotics is generally unnecessary and should be avoided.
Risks and warnings
- Penicillin allergy: People with a penicillin allergy have a higher chance of also reacting to cephradine, so this history should be shared before starting.
- Diarrhea: Antibiotic associated diarrhea, including a rare but serious form caused by Clostridioides difficile, can occur during or after treatment.
