Took the drug in mid May 2014 for a sinus condition. I having diarrhea the next day that continued for over a week even after I stopped taking the drug after 4th day. I had to go to the doctor to get the diarrhea to stop, then began getting a rash on the back of my scalp and around my neck. The rash has continued since mid-May through July and continues to spread. I have went to 2 different doctors regarding the itchy rash and have been on 3 rounds of steroids which helps curb the rash while I am on the steroid. However still have the rash all over my body and am going back to the doctor next week. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to get the drug company to off-set my medical costs from the drug reaction? ## Edwardo again. Now it is July 17 and still have the rash / hives....

I was told by my son's Pediatirician that this was not penicillin (as he is allergic to PCN). Now after reading several discussions about this med, I'm worried. Please respond ASAP! Thank you, a concerned mother. ## If he is allergic to PCN he should not take this medication. It is a close cousin to the penicillin family and he will also be allergic to it. I am also allergic to amoxicillin (pcn sister) and I was given this medicine for a ear infection and started getting hives in my face n swelling eyelids and tingly mouth. I stopped the omnicef when symtoms developed. So pls dont give to your son.

I was on Omnicef almost 2 and half months ago now for a severe upper respitory infection, they gave me a antibiotic shot then 2 weeks of omnicef. I didn't realize I was having a reaction to it when my ankles, legs, hands, feet started swelling, I finished the whole 2 weeks of it. Thought it was maybe because I was so sick and inactivity. I started gaining weight and my ankles feet, legs, belly hands have continued to swell, I have continued to have loose stools and gain more weight, even though I am the healthiest eater out there. They tried a steroid shot to counteract this, does anyone know if there is anything else out there to stop this? I am very scared is this permanent? ## Hello, Carol! How are you doing? Has there been any change? The side effects from an given medication co...

My baby's Dr. Prescribed him Omnicef. My baby is 15 months. old. He had reactions to the med. He had diarrhea and a painful looking rash in his genital area. He screamed when I cleaned him after every spout of diarrhea. Do you think he is allergic to Penicillin?

taking antibiotic for lyme disease. Brand name selected by doctor was omnicef. Was given generic by pharmacist. The pill is blue capsule. Is sandoz 663 a manuafactured name, but it will still act as antibiotic. ## This type of confusion does happen a lot, so I'd like to add some information to this post to help clear it up for anyone else in the future. The way a pill looks doesn't matter, the color doesn't matter and neither does the manufacturer, the only relevant thing that matters if what it contains, as long as it has the right active ingredient as what your doctor prescribed and the right dosage, then it is still the same medication and will treat the same conditions. In this case, the doctor ordered Omnicef, which is an antibiotic that contains the active ingredient C...

Does cefdinir make your urine smell and does it cause you to need to go more often? ## The exact reason why medications do certain things to the body are unknown, however, they all do have side effects, because you are ingesting a foreign substance. Cefdinir is an antibiotic, a generic for Omnicef. The most common side effects include: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and headache. That said, it should not make you urinate more frequently, but medications do affect people differently. Have you talked to your doctor about this? ## Yes. My urine smells awful, just like the smell/aftertaste of the capsule when I take my dose of Cefdinir. ## Mine too, just reeks. ## My urine smells terrible since I've been taking Omnicef.

The pill is a capsule and is dark purple on one side and like a light blue or teal on the other. It has a c on the side that is purple and 300 on the side that is teal/blue. The bottle that I found the pill in was filled in october of 2010.The bottle also says that it is cefdinir generic for omnicef but I am unable to find a pill picture that is the exact match for this pill so I am assuming that it is not in the right bottle. It is at my mother inlaws house and she has a bad habit of placing the wrong pills in the wrong container so I am trying to figure out what this pill is and if it is in the proper bottle. Thanks for any help that is offered. ## No, that is the correct identification, though I don't have a picture to post for you, due to copyright reasons. Cefdinir is a generic...
