Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should check with their physicians before using cephalosporins.
Some cephalosporins work best when taken on an empty stomach. Others should be taken after meals. The physician who prescribed the medicine or the pharmacist who filled the prescription can provide instructions on how to take the medicine.
The patient should get medical attention immediately if any side effect symptoms develop while taking cephalosporins.
Cephalosporins may pass into breast milk and may affect nursing babies. Women who are breastfeeding and who need to take this medicine should check with their physicians. They may need to stop breastfeeding until treatment is finished.
Alcoholic beverages or other medicines that contain alcohol should not be used while being treated with cephalosporins and for several days after treatment ends.
Birth control pills may not work properly when taken at the same time as cephalosporins. To prevent pregnancy, other methods of birth control should be used in addition to the pills while taking cephalosporins.
What is the difference between cephalosporins and noncephalosporin?
Alcoholic beverages as well as other medicines that contain alcohol should be avoided while being treated with cephalosporins and for several days after treatment ends.
If you are allergic to cefaclor (Ceclor), you should not take cephalexin (Keflex) without first consulting your doctor. They are both cephalosporins, meaning, they are the same type of antibiotic, they just target different bacteria.
