Apo Cefprozil How to Take

Cefprozil is an antibiotic that belongs to the family of medications known as cephalosporins. It is used to treat certain types of infections caused by bacteria. It is most commonly used to treat infections of the throat, ear, sinus, skin, and bladder. It works by weakening the cell walls of the bacteria causing the infection, thereby killing the bacteria.

Apo Cefprozil may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Apo Cefprozil may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Apo Cefprozil may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Apo Cefprozil for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Apo Cefprozil, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Apo Cefprozil without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Apo Cefprozil to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Apo Cefprozil if their doctor has not prescribed it.

We sort your medication into clearly labeled, individual packs so you can be sure you're taking the right dose at the right time.

Apo Cefprozil Dosage

Adults: The recommended dose for adults and adolescents 13 years and older is 250 mg to 500 mg every 12 to 24 hours. The exact dose depends on the condition being treated.

Children: The recommended children's dose is 7.5 mg to 15 mg per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours, or up to 20 mg per kilogram every 24 hours. The exact dose depends on the condition being treated.

Apo Cefprozil Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Apo Cefprozil.

Allergy: Before starting treatment with cefprozil, inform your doctor about any adverse reactions you have had to medications, especially cefprozil, cephalosporins, and penicillins. Some people allergic to penicillin may also be allergic to cephalosporins such as cefprozil. If you have an allergic reaction, contact a doctor.

Antibiotic-associated colitis: Like other antibiotics, Apo Cefprozil may cause a potentially dangerous condition called antibiotic-associated colitis (or pseudomembranous colitis). Symptoms include severe, watery diarrhea that may be bloody. If you notice these symptoms, stop taking cefprozil and contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Bacterial resistance: Misuse of an antibiotic such as cefprozil may lead to the growth of resistant bacteria that will not be killed by the antibiotic. If this happens, the antibiotic may not work for you in the future. Although you may begin to feel better when you first starting taking cefprozil, you need to take all of the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor to finish ridding your body of the infection and to prevent resistant bacteria from taking hold. Do not take cefprozil or other antibiotics to treat a viral infection such as The Common Cold; antibiotics do not kill viruses, and using them to treat viral infections can lead to the growth of resistant bacteria.

Kidney function: Kidney Disease and decreased kidney function may cause Apo Cefprozil to build up in the body, causing side effects. People with kidney disease or reduced kidney function should discuss with their doctor how Apo Cefprozil may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Cefprozil, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Overgrowth of organisms: Prolonged or repeated use of cefprozil may result in an overgrowth of bacteria or fungi and organisms that are not killed by the medication. This can cause problems such as yeast infections.

Pregnancy: It is not known if cefprozil is safe for use by pregnant women. Apo Cefprozil should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Apo Cefprozil, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Apo Cefprozil passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking cefprozil, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: It is not known if cefprozil is safe for children under 6 months of age.
