Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ceftibuten fecal microbiota, live

Applies to: ceftibuten and fecal microbiota, live

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: ceftibuten

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of ceftibuten. According to the product labeling, administration of ceftibuten oral suspension with a high-fat breakfast decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 26% and 17%, respectively. Administration of ceftibuten capsules with a standardized breakfast decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 18% and 8%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, ceftibuten oral suspension should be taken at least two hours before or one hour after a meal.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
