CefzilĀ® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (284 words)
Cefzil® (cefprozil) is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics.
Prescribing Cefzil in the absence of proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Cefzil® (cefprozil) is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate otitis media in patients 6 months to 12 years caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae (including ß-lactamase-producing strains), and Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis (including ß-lactamase-producing strains).
Cefzil Tablets Drug Information Cefzil Tablets (4122 words)
Prescribing CEFZIL (cefprozil) in the absence of proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
When CEFZIL is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed.
CEFZIL is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.
