Can I take Omnicef?

No, Omnicef is a cephalosporin like cefzil and ceftin. Looks like you cannot take any of the beta-lactam drugs, cephalosporin and penicillin class drugs. About 10% of people who are allergic to one of the beta-lactam antibiotic classes will be allergic to the other too. That is too bad, as probably 90% of all antibiotics fall into one of those two classes. But it is important to know. If you get a severe reaction, difficulty breathing and swelling, you need to get a medical alert bracelet to indicate your allergy to these drugs.

If you are concerned about warning emergency techs, then I would make it a blanket warning. I've had family members forever harmed and some killed by unwary techs administering just anything.
On the other hand if you get sick often and are looking for a substitute, then I'd suggest reading the book called 'healing oils of the bible' which is available from most book sellers. Yes, I know some of you will not like the title, but it truly is an exceptional book for anyone serious about health.

To begin you are NOT going to be given a prescription for any antibiotic without being screened for allergies first. Your prescriber will then choose the one that is right for you so what difference does it make?? Meantime Omnicef is a celpalosporin drug. I honestly don't know where folks on here get the misinformation they post. It amazes me.

Jeffrey P. is right, BUT it's always best to be informed about what you are taking especially if you are allergic. There have been many cases where doctors have prescribed a drug that the person is allergic to. Myself included. You are wise to ask questions.

NO, you are allergic to penicillin-type drugs. omnicef is another trade name for ampicillin, which is similiar to amoxicillin.

no. too close to pennacillin,maybe floxins are the right antibiotics for you.
as for allergies, some antibiotics cause stomach upset. if thats the case its not an allergy, rather a sensitivity.
