Suprax Warnings
Patients should inform their doctor if they have had allergies to Penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics, if they have stomach and intestinal diseases (such as colitis). If the patients see no amelioration of the symptoms after a few days of treatment they should announce their caregiver. Patients who are experiencing vomiting, nausea and severe diarrhea during the treatment with Suprax should talk with their doctor before taking anti-diarrheal drugs, because some of these medical products (like Lomotil or Paregoric) may worsen these symptoms.

These patients should tell their doctor that they are taking this medicine, before they submit an urine sample.
