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.

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.

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

Our kid is taking cefprozil liquid suspension and it says it needs refrigerated. We accidentally left it out of the refrigerator for 6 hrs, is it okay and still effective?
