If this occurs, advise patients to contact their physician as soon as possible.Inform patients and caregivers that Ceftin for oral suspension contains phenylalanine (a component of aspartame) Instruct patients to swallow the tablet whole, without crushing the tablet. Reproduction studies in rats at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day (9 times the recommended maximum human dose based on body surface area) have revealed no impairment of fertility.One adequate and well‑controlled trial was performed in subjects with acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis. Krause’s Food & the Nutrition Care Process.

Antibiotics and nutrient interactions are rarely discussed or listed as side effects on the drug label, but numerous hospital websites — most notably Mount Sinai — have made this information readily available. The range of metabolic interactions of drugs and nutrients includes the full scope of physiological processes to which drugs and nutrients are subject.

Oral suspension contains the inactive ingredients acesulfame potassium, aspartame, povidone K30, stearic acid, sucrose, tutti‑frutti flavoring, and xanthan gum.After oral administration, cefuroxime axetil is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and rapidly hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases in the intestinal mucosa and blood to cefuroxime. Other drugs, such as aspirin and other anti-inflammatory agents, while best absorbed without food, are so irritating to the stomach that they can cause pain, diarrhea, and nausea (Table 1).

The discontinuations were primarily for gastrointestinal disturbances, usually diarrhea or vomiting. Food Effect on Pharmacokinetics:Absorption of the tablet is greater when taken after food (absolute bioavailability of CEFTIN Tablets increases from 37% to 52%).
