Consumer:Ask your doctor before using magnesium hydroxide together with cefditoren. Medications that reduce stomach acid such as magnesium hydroxide can cause cefditoren to be less effective. You should generally avoid using magnesium hydroxide while taking cefditoren. 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.
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.
MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends that cefditoren pivoxil not be administered concomitantly with antacids or oral medications that contain antacids (e.g., didanosine buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution).
