• Upper respiratory tract infections

• Lower respiratory tract infections such as acute bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia

Therapy should be guided by culture and sensitivity results whenever possible to ensure appropriate antibiotic use.

Therapeutic Class

Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic

Pharmacology

Cefdinir acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting the final stage of peptidoglycan formation required for maintaining bacterial cell wall strength. This leads to cell wall instability, bacterial lysis, and eventual cell death. Cefdinir is stable against many beta-lactamases produced by resistant organisms, contributing to its effectiveness against a broad range of pathogens.

Dosage and Administration

Adinir Capsule 300 mg is administered orally.

• The usual adult dose is 300 mg every 12 hours or 600 mg once daily, depending on the type and severity of infection

• Capsules should be swallowed whole with water

• May be taken with or without food

• Treatment duration typically ranges from 5 to 14 days based on clinical response

Patients should complete the full course of therapy even if symptoms improve early.

Drug Interactions

Iron supplements and iron-fortified products may reduce the absorption of Cefdinir. If co-administration is necessary, doses should be separated by at least 2 hours. Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may also interfere with Cefdinir absorption and should be taken at different times.

Contraindications

Adinir Capsule 300 mg is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Cefdinir, other cephalosporins, or any ingredient of the formulation.

Side Effects

Common adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and skin rash. Rare but serious reactions may include allergic responses, pseudomembranous colitis, and hematological abnormalities. Reddish discoloration of stool may occur when taken with iron products and is generally harmless.

Precautions and Warnings

Caution is advised in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly colitis. Patients with known hypersensitivity to penicillins should be monitored due to possible cross-reactivity. Prolonged use may result in superinfection with non-susceptible organisms.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Cefdinir should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and under medical supervision. Caution is recommended during breastfeeding, as small amounts of the drug may be excreted in breast milk.

Storage Conditions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
