QUERY REGARDING CEFDINIR

2020-02-03 15:49:55
Can antibiotic Cefdinir cause maroon stools ? I once had Cefdinir and it caused my stool to turn maroon with red blood tinge to it. I gave the same sample to the lab for testing of Stool R/M and occult blood which came out to be negative. So can it happen ? Have you witnessed such cases where patients complain the same after consumption of above named drug ?
