How it Works

Side Effects

Expert Advice

  • Your doctor has prescribed Cefepime to treat your infection and alleviate your symptoms.
  • Do not skip any doses and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better.
  • Stopping the medication early may cause the infection to return and make it more difficult to treat.
  • Discontinue Cefepime and inform your doctor immediately if you experience:
    • A rash
    • Itchy skin
    • Swelling of the face and mouth
    • Difficulty in breathing
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should resolve once your course is complete.
  • Inform your doctor if diarrhea persists or if you notice blood in your stools.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Cefepime, as it may lead to increased side effects.
