If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to. Tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially other antibiotics, anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin (Coumadin), probenecid (Benemid), and vitamins you may be taking. If you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking cefpodoxime. This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby.
