I am allergic to Penicillin. Probably not the ear infection. Ceftin is very effective against gram negative organisms and has fairly good gram positive coverage. It differs from earlier generation cephalosporins in being better gram negative coverage at the cost of some gram positive coverage. It is also much more expensive than its earlier cephalosporin cousins.
Allergies tend to be rashes and respiratory involvement.
Diarrhea and nausea are common side effects, but not allergies per se. Not likely, to be a problem. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Send your impressions, comments, thoughts, etc. Inc. All rights reserved.
