FAQs about Suprax
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Suprax, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Suprax while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Suprax during pregnancy should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as the effects on pregnancy are not fully established. It is also advised to consult your prescriber if you are breastfeeding, as cefixime may pass into breast milk. This guidance is included in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
How should I store Suprax?
Suprax should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children. This storage information is specified in the Storage section of the label.
