Cefdinir

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryCefdinir, marketed under the brand name Omnicef, is a small molecule drug that acts as a penicillin-binding protein (PBP) inhibitor and a cell wall inhibitor. It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Cefdinir works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria that cause infections, including streptococcus, staphylococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae. It is approved in several countries, including the US, China, Japan, and South Korea. Omnicef is available as capsules or an oral suspension and is typically administered once or twice daily depending on the severity of the infection. It is important to use this medication only for the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections, as overuse or misuse can lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
