Interactions between your drugs
cefpodoxime famotidine
Applies to: cefpodoxime, Acid Control (famotidine)
Using cefpodoxime together with famotidine is not recommended.

You may need to stop taking famotidine while you are being treated with cefpodoxime, or your doctor may want to prescribe a different antibiotic. 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.
