- **Give with food:** Cefadroxil can cause stomach upset, vomiting, or diarrhea. Giving the medication with a small meal or treat can significantly reduce these side effects. - **Finish the prescription:** Always complete the entire course of antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if your pet seems completely better. Stopping early can lead to resistant infections. - **Liquid storage:** If you were given the liquid suspension, it must be **kept in the refrigerator**. Discard any unused liquid after 14 days. - **Allergic reactions:** Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice signs of an allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, hives, severe rash, or difficulty breathing.

- > **Cross-Reactivity Warning:** Use cautiously in patients with documented hypersensitivity to other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, carbapenems) due to potential cross-reactivity (up to 15% in humans; unknown in veterinary patients). * **Renal Impairment:** Patients with diminished renal function may require dose adjustments and intensified renal monitoring, as the drug is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine. * **Laboratory Interference:** * May cause false-positive urine glucose tests when using cupric sulfate solutions (e.g., Clinitest®). * May falsely elevate serum/urine creatinine values when using the Jaffe reaction. * May cause a false-positive direct Coombs' test. * May falsely elevate 17-ketosteroid values in urine.
藥物相互作用
