CEFDINIR vs CEFOTETAN

I posted last week but I didn’t get a response so I deleted it. My 14 month old daughter had a 103 fever for a week, pediatrician started her on cefdinir and her fever dropped. She became extremely lethargic and slept for 3 days/nights straight, only waking when I’d wake her up to try to eat, fallin

Female, 23, smoker, 200lbs, 5'3", cefdinir So approximately 3 days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with the most awful ear pain in my life, so bad I went straight to the ER. They looked in my ear, saw what looked to be a lady bug, and got to work. Step 1 was lidocaine and wait, and then th

You’re a retail pharmacist. Your tech just called out. You’re working alone and the queue is horrendously backed up because of the previous floaters ineptitude. You have 7 waiters, 3 of which are flu shots, 2 are cefdinir reconstitutions, 1 is a rosuvastatin script, and 1 is an addict waiting for hi

I want to hear your best patient interactions where you wanted laugh and cry at the same time. I'll start. I had a patient calling to ask if his medication for cefdinir that he picked up was causing his sore throat. He had been using it for 3 days and his throat keeps getting worse. I told him it do

This seems like an interesting pharmacy controversy. We have an aux sticker that goes on the bottle that says "DO NOT REFRIGERATE" but the sticker was put on the box instead of the bottle and the parents took the bottle home and threw it straight in the fridge. They called this morning and I as

Yesterday I had a lady drop off a prescription for cefdinir and told me she is allergic to amoxicillin. I asked her what her allergy to amoxicillin was, and she told me that her throat closed up so obviously I ran right over to the pharmacist and asked her to call the doctor to try to get it changed

Hi r/pharmacy, I just started at a new pharmacy and was about to flavor some cefdinir (using Flavorx) for a patient and one of my pharmacists let me know that she had come across a CE in the past saying that cefdinir should not be flavored due to stability issues. Unfortunately, we were unable to lo

Welcome back to SAR! Previously, we looked at early antibiotics and ended the post with the [discovery of penicillin](https://www.reddit.com/r/SAR_Med_Chem/comments/tp9c0n/13_min_read_penicillin_is_apparently_better_than/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). In it we looked at the b

Hi all! 24 F here. Just got diagnosed with recurrent c diff colitis. I had a pretty bad initial infection (wasn't hospitalized but according to my dr probably should have been) that gave me moderate/severe colitis. It took over 3 ER visits to finally get the diagnosis which is why it was so bad. I s

I had an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy 9 days ago for appendicitis. The surgery went well, I came home almost immediately after. I take lexapro, Wellbutrin and adderall for ADHD, depression and anxiety. I’ve been on them for years and they’ve worked well. At least they did before the surgery.

I may have misheard my dentist today. I thought she said "Any new drug allergies?" but she may have said "Any drug allergies?" Just want to double check :) Thanks!
