Product Description:


What Omnicef is and what it is used for Cefdinir is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria in the conditions listed below in pediatric patients:



  • Acute bacterial otitis media.

  • Acute maxillary sinusitis.

  • Pharyngitis/tonsillitis.

  • Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections.

  • Omnicef contains sodium, sodium benzoate and sucrose (sugar)
    Omnicef contains sodium. Each 5 ml contains 1.71 mg sodium.

  • This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per 5 ml, that is to say essentially ‘sodium-free’.
    Omnicef contains sodium benzoate.

  • Each 5 ml contains 5.375 mg sodium benzoate.

  • Each 5 ml contains 2.92 g sucrose (sugar).

How To Use:



  • Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medicine guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
    Shake the oral suspension (liquid) before you measure a dose.

  • Use the marked measuring spoon provided or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
    You may take Omnicef with or without food.
    Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time, even if your symptoms quickly improve.

  • Skipping doses can increase your risk of infection that is resistant to medication.
    Cefdinir will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.

  • The recommended dosage and duration of treatment for infections in pediatric patients are described in the following chart; the total daily dose for all infections is 14 mg/kg, up to a maximum dose of 600 mg per day. Once-daily dosing for 10 days is as effective as BID dosing.

  • Once-daily dosing has not been studied in skin infections; therefore, Omnicef should be administered twice daily in this infection.
