ceftibuten fecal microbiota, live

Applies to: Cedax (ceftibuten) and fecal microbiota, live

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Antibiotics may interfere with the therapeutic effects of fecal microbiota, which contains live bacteria. The mechanism may be related to the antibiotic inactivating the bacteria or reducing bacterial replication. In clinical studies an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours was required prior to the rectal administration of fecal microbiota.

MANAGEMENT: Although data are limited, it may be prudent to have an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours prior to administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota. In addition, the manufacturer recommends avoiding oral antibiotics for up to 8 weeks after administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ceftibuten food

Applies to: Cedax (ceftibuten)

The following interaction applies only if you are taking ceftibuten (brand name Cedax) in the liquid formulation:

Food may reduce the absorption of ceftibuten from the liquid (suspension) formulation, which may lead to lower blood levels of the medication and possibly reduced effectiveness. Therefore, it should be taken on an empty stomach at least two hours before or one hour after a meal. If you are taking the capsule formulation, you may take it with or without food. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
