Interactions

Drug interactions of Cefakind 500 with other medicine salt

Acenocoumarol

Severe

Cefakind 500 Tablet may enhance the blood-thinning effect of Acenocoumarol, increasing the risk of serious bleeding complications.

Warfarin

Severe

Taking Warfarin with Cefakind 500 Tablet may increase INR levels and raise the risk of bleeding. Patients may experience easy bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or blood in urine or stools.

Probenecid

Severe

Probenecid can significantly increase the levels and duration of cefuroxime in the body by reducing its elimination through the kidneys. This may increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or kidney-related problems.

Omeprazole

Moderate

Omeprazole reduces stomach acid, which may decrease the absorption and effectiveness of Cefakind 500 Tablet (cefuroxime axetil). This can make the antibiotic less effective in treating infections.

Moderate

Pantoprazole

Moderate

Pantoprazole may lower the absorption of cefuroxime from the stomach, reducing the antibiotic’s effectiveness and delaying recovery from infection.

Food interactions
