How safe is it to administer Cefprozil for an infant?
Patient: My 2 month old son was acting strangely. Sleeping more, eating less, and his urine smelled strong and had a sticky substance in it. I took him to my doctor and upon urine analysis determined it was a urinary tract infection. They prescribed omoxicillin based on the preliminary results, but upon further study of the urine, prescribed cefprozil to clear it up. Is this safe for my little baby? He s only 9 weeks old! Doctor: Hello. I just red through your question.Of course it is unfortunate for any child this age to have a UTI, and no doctor ever likes to prescribe any antibiotic for a baby. But in this case it is warranted. The only potentially adverse effect is some mild abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. Outside of this, you can give the cefprozil confidently.
