 | | Cephalosporins are used to treat infections in different parts of the body -- the ears, nose, throat, lungs, sinuses, and skin, for example. | | | Taking cephalosporins with certain other drugs may affect the way the drugs work or may increase the chance of side effects. | | | Anyone who takes cephalosporins should let the physician know all other medicines he or she is taking. |

| | The cephalosporins can be effective, but those that are taken orally are not in most cases the drug of choice in systemic infections. | | | Because there is considerable variation of activity among the drugs in the second generation, testing for susceptibility may be required to determine the drugs sensitivity to the organism it is planning to be used on. | | | More information may be found on a specific drug of this class, used in pet rats, listed under Cephalosporins on the Rat Medication Guide. |
