Major

mycophenolate mofetil ceftibuten

Applies to: CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) and ceftibuten

Ceftibuten may reduce the blood levels and effects of mycophenolate mofetil. You may need a dose adjustment of mycophenolate mofetil or more frequent monitoring to use both medications together. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any signs or symptoms of organ rejection such as less urine output (kidney transplant); shortness of breathing, swelling, or less ability to exercise (heart transplant); or yellowing of the skin or eyes (liver transplant). 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.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ceftibuten food

Applies to: ceftibuten

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

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.
