We have allergies too but have never had this happen. Is it possible

the behavior is related to the illness he is being treated for? My son

has had serious behavior issues when he has had the flu before even

after the fever has been gone. I think it has been headaches but he

isn't able to verbalize that it is his head that hurts.

Hi: Cefzil and Ceftin are loaded with casein. If you child is sensitive- they

should not take it. It gave my son extreme diarrhea, and made him hyper. That is

when I found out that it is casein filled. D

[ ] antibiotic reaction???

Hi All,

Has anyones child taken a antibiotic where their child had a

behavioral reaction. I ask because, Jack who is allergic to

amoxicillin, and usually takes Zithromax was given this week Cefzil,

a antibiotic which is in the same family as what amoxicillin but they

told me that there is only a 5% chance he could be allergic to

Cefzil. He has been on it 5 days now and has had some serious

behavior issues that are pretty much out of the norm. These behavior

issues seem unlike Jack and just started the last 2 days. Just

thought I would ask. His teacher said yesterday he was not very

cooroperative, and his therapies yesterday and today were not very

good.

THanks,

Eileen mom to Jack

hi, how did you know that these antibiotics have casein? is this something my

MD would be familiar with? My son is allergic to all dairy products......do you

know of other medicines that have casein?

Thanks,

Hi : I found it on a drug information website about Cephalosporin

medications- not the Amoxicillin.

You need to ask a pharmacist, if your Dr is not sure- as ours either did not

look or did not know.

Contraindications Documented hypersensitivity to drug, penicillin, related

compounds, or milk protein sodium caseinate; carnitine deficiency or inborn

errors of metabolism that may result in clinically significant carnitine

I agree with - Josh hasn't had reactions to antibiotics (other

than an occasional case of diarhhea) but when he's had ear infections

or sinus headaches, he's had behavioral issues. Just a thought.
