#cefuroxime can increase INR result if taken with #Warfain .
Which are the safe generation #cephalsporins ?
NB In any case do more frequent INR with any additional medication.
Cefuroxime may increase the effects of warfarin and cause you to bleed more easily. You may need more frequent monitoring of your INR after starting cefuroxime or whenever it is discontinued, and appropriate adjustments made in your blood thinner dosage if necessary.
THE BOTTOM LINE When prescribing antibiotics for patients taking warfarin, try to choose agents with a lower likelihood of affecting INR such as penicillin G, clindamycin, and 1st- and 4th-generation cephalosporins.
عند وصف المضادات الحيوية للمرضى الذين يتناولون الوارفارين ، حاول اختيار عوامل ذات احتمالية أقل للتأثير على INR مثل البنسلين G ، الكليندامايسين ، والجيل الأول والرابع من السيفالوسبورينات
First and fourth generation cephalsporins.
