When Can Food Be Consumed After Administering The Asthma Medicine, Pancef?
Hello Doctor, please advise, my 5 year old son has been prescribed Pancef for a chest infection and has been diagnosed asthmatic , just yesterday. We were told to administer Pancef first thing in morning before breakfast. How long must stomach remain empty for after dose? Also, I look online for information on this drug and find it must be taken with or after food which conflicts with how it was prescribed. Please advise,, Thank you for your help.

He can use it and then eat right after he takes it.
Some persons experience gastrointestinal symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain with antibiotics.
The use of probiotics would help prevent and reduce these symptoms. These can be taken on their own or in food such as yogurt.
I hope this helps
