Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with antacids or agents with acid-neutralizing effects may reduce the oral absorption and plasma concentrations of cefditoren pivoxil. According to the manufacturer, a dose of an antacid containing magnesium hydroxide (800 mg) and aluminum hydroxide (900 mg) reduced the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of a single dose of cefditoren pivoxil (400 mg, administered following a meal) by 14% and 11%, respectively. The clinical significance of these alterations is unknown.
