Omnicef is used for:

Treating mild to moderate infections caused by certain bacteria.

Do NOT use Omnicef if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Omnicef or any other cephalosporin antibiotic (eg, cephalexin)


• you will be receiving or have recently received a live typhoid vaccine

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Omnicef:

Some medical conditions may interact with Omnicef. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to a penicillin (eg, amoxicillin) or other beta-lactam antibiotic (eg, imipenem)


• if you have a blood clotting disorder, kidney problems, seizures, diabetes, or stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation)

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Omnicef. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Probenecid because it may increase the risk of Omnicef's side effects


• Live typhoid vaccine because its effectiveness may be decreased by Omnicef

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Omnicef may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Omnicef:

Use Omnicef as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• An extra patient leaflet is available with Omnicef. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.


• Omnicef may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take it with food to reduce stomach irritation.


• Do not take an antacid that has magnesium or aluminum in it within 2 hours before or after you take Omnicef.


• Do not take a product that has iron in it within 2 hours before or after you take Omnicef. However, you may give Omnicef along with iron-fortified infant formula.


• Omnicef works best if taken at the same times each day.


• To clear up your infection completely, take Omnicef for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Omnicef.

Important safety information:

• Omnicef only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).


• Be sure to use Omnicef for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.


• Long-term or repeated use of Omnicef may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.


• Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.


• If you are taking Omnicef and a product that contains iron, your stools may turn a reddish color. This is normal and not a cause for concern.


• Diabetes patients - Omnicef may cause the results of some tests for urine ketones or glucose to be wrong. Ask your doctor before you change your diet or the dose of your diabetes medicine.


• Omnicef may interfere with certain lab tests (eg, Coomb tests). Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using Omnicef.


• Use Omnicef with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 10 years old who have diarrhea or an infection of the stomach or bowel.


• Omnicef should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 6 months old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.

Precautions While Using rosiglitazone

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that rosiglitazone is working properly. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.

Call your doctor right away if you have chest pain or discomfort; nausea; pain or discomfort in the arms, jaw, back, or neck; shortness of breath; sweating; or vomiting. These may be symptoms of a heart attack.

If you are rapidly gaining weight or having shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort, extreme tiredness or weakness, irregular breathing, irregular heartbeat, or excessive swelling of the hands, wrist, ankles, or feet, check with your doctor right away. These may be symptoms of a heart problem or edema (fluid retention).

If you have abdominal or stomach pain; dark urine; a loss of appetite; nausea or vomiting; unusual tiredness or weakness; or yellow eyes or skin, check with your doctor right away. These may be symptoms of a serious liver problem.

Check with your doctor right away if blurred vision, difficulty in reading, or any other change in vision occurs while you are taking rosiglitazone. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).

rosiglitazone may increase the risk for bone fractures in women. Ask your doctor about ways to keep your bones strong to help prevent fractures.

Certain women may be at an increased risk for pregnancy while taking rosiglitazone. If you had problems ovulating and had irregular periods in the past, rosiglitazone may cause you to ovulate. This could increase your chance of becoming pregnant. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you should discuss birth control options with your doctor.

Make sure any doctor or dentist who treats you knows that you are using rosiglitazone. rosiglitazone may affect the results of certain medical tests.

It is very important to carefully follow any instructions from your doctor about:

• Alcohol—Drinking alcohol may cause severe low blood sugar. Discuss this with your doctor.


• Other medicines—Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This especially includes nonprescription medicines such as aspirin, and medicines for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems.


• Counseling—Other family members need to learn how to prevent side effects or help with side effects if they occur. Also, diabetic patients may need special counseling about diabetes medicine dosing changes that might occur because of lifestyle changes, such as changes in exercise and diet. Furthermore, counseling on contraception and pregnancy may be needed because of the problems that can occur in patients with diabetes during pregnancy.


• Travel—Keep a recent prescription and your medical history with you. Be prepared for an emergency as you would normally. Make allowances for changing time zones and keep your meal times as close as possible to your usual meal times.


• In case of emergency—There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says that you have diabetes and a list of all of your medicines.


• Symptoms of fluid retention—Know what to do if you start to retain fluid. Fluid retention may worsen or lead to heart problems.

rosiglitazone does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, low blood sugar can occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, or take rosiglitazone with another type of diabetes medicine. The symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they lead to unconsciousness (passing out). Different people feel different symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms of low blood sugar you usually have so that you can treat it quickly.

• Symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety; behavior change similar to being drunk; blurred vision; cold sweats; confusion; cool, pale skin; difficulty in thinking; drowsiness; excessive hunger; fast heartbeat; headache (continuing); nausea; nervousness; nightmares; restless sleep; shakiness; slurred speech; or unusual tiredness or weakness.


• If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes; or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drinks, or sugar dissolved in water to relieve the symptoms. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Glucagon is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe and needle, and know how to use it. Members of your family also should know how to use it.

Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur if you do not take enough or skip a dose of your medicine, overeat or do not follow your meal plan, have a fever or infection, or do not exercise as much as usual.

• Symptoms of high blood sugar include blurred vision; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushed, dry skin; fruit-like breath odor; increased urination (frequency and amount); ketones in the urine; loss of appetite; sleepiness; stomachache, nausea, or vomiting; tiredness; troubled breathing (rapid and deep); unconsciousness; or unusual thirst.


• If the symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and call your doctor for instructions.

Precautions While Using Ofirmev

It is very important that your doctor check you closely while you or your child are receiving this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it.

This medicine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Call your doctor right away if you or your child have a rash; itching; hoarseness; trouble breathing; trouble swallowing; or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after you receive this medicine.

This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, there may be a greater risk of liver damage if you drink three or more alcoholic beverages while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your doctor before taking any of these medicines while you or your child are using this medicine.

Carefully check the labels of all other medicines you are using, because they may also contain acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®). It is not safe to use more than 4 grams (4,000 milligrams) of acetaminophen in one day (24 hours).

Hydrocortisone is a steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.

Neomycin and polymyxin B are antibiotics that fight bacteria.

The combination of hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B otic (for the ears) is used to treat ear infections caused by bacteria.

This medication will not treat a viral infection such as herpes or shingles.

Hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B otic may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Otimar (hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B otic)?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to hydrocortisone, neomycin, or polymyxin B, or if you have a ruptured ear drum, or an ear infection caused by chickenpox, or herpes infection (simplex or zoster).

Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have herpes (simplex or zoster), chickenpox or small pox, any ear infection that causes blistering, asthma or sulfite allergy, or if you are allergic to an antibiotic similar to neomycin, such as amikacin (Amikin), gentamicin (Garamycin), kanamycin (Kantrex), netilmicin (Netromycin), paromomycin (Humatin, Paromycin), streptomycin, or tobramycin (Nebcin, Tobi).

Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week of using this medication.

Do not use this medication for longer than 10 days in a row unless your doctor tells you to. Long-term use of neomycin may cause damage to your hearing. Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have skin rash, redness, swelling, itching, dryness, scaling, severe burning or stinging, or other irritation in or around the ear. Other serious side effects include new signs of infection, hearing loss, or urinating less than usual or not at all.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before using Otimar (hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B otic)?

Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not use this medication in a child younger than 2 years old.

How should I use Otimar (hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B otic)?

Use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Before using this medication, clean and dry your ear canal with sterile cotton.

Shake the ear drops well just before you measure a dose.

This medication is usually given as 4 to 5 drops into the affected ear every 6 to 8 hours. Children may need to use fewer drops. Follow your doctor's instructions about how much medication you should use and how often.

Do not use this medication for longer than 10 days in a row unless your doctor tells you to. Long-term use of neomycin may cause damage to your hearing.

To use the ear drops, first remove the cap from the dropper bottle. Lie down or tilt your head with your ear facing upward. Pull back on your ear gently to open up the ear canal. If giving this medicine to a child, pull down on the earlobe to open the ear canal. Hold the dropper upside down over the ear canal and drop the correct number of drops into the ear.

Do not place the dropper tip into your ear or allow the tip to touch any surface. It may become contaminated.

After using the ear drops, stay lying down or with your head tilted for at least 5 minutes.

As an alternative to dropping the medicine into your ear, you may insert a small piece of cotton into the ear canal and then drop the medicine directly onto the cotton to soak it. Leave the cotton in the ear and keep it moist by adding more of the medication every 4 to 8 hours. Replace the cotton at least every 24 hours. Follow your doctor's instructions about the use of cotton with this medication.

Wipe the ear dropper tip with a clean tissue. Do not wash the tip with water or soap.

Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week of using this medication.

Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Overdose symptoms may include hearing problems, or urinating less than usual.
