Nausea, headache, diarrhea, dyspepsia, dizziness, abdominal pain, vomiting.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Category B. There are no controlled data on the use of Ceftibuten in pregnant women. Ceftibuten should be used in pregnancy only when the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. It is not known whether Ceftibuten (recommended dosage) is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be excercised when Ceftibuten is administered to nursing women.

As with other broad-spectrum antibiotics, prolonged treatment may result in the possible emergence and overgrowth of resistant organisms. Careful observation of the patient is essential. The dose of Inbuten may require adjustment in patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency.
