1. Patients who are allergic to cephalosporin drugs (such as penicillins, cephalosporins, etc.) are prohibited from using Cefoxitin. It may cause severe allergic reactions, including skin redness and swelling, difficulty breathing, and even shock.
2. Pregnant women should use Cefoxitin under the guidance of a physician because the drug may affect the development of the fetus.
3. Patients with hepatic insufficiency or liver disease should avoid using Cefoxitin, because the metabolism and excretion of the drug mainly passes through the liver, which may aggravate liver function damage.
4. Patients with impaired renal function or kidney disease should consult a doctor before using Cefoxitin, because the excretion of the drug is mainly through the kidneys, which may cause the drug to accumulate in the body and cause adverse reactions.
Before using Cefoxitin, patients should inform their doctor in detail about their allergies, disease history, and other drugs currently being used to ensure safe use. If any adverse reactions occur, inform your doctor immediately and stop using the drug.

Head CEF antibiotics should be used with caution during pregnancy. This drug is classified as a Category B drug, which means there may be some risks to pregnant women. Although there is no evidence that CEF causes birth defects, the risks and benefits should still be evaluated. If there is an urgent need to use CEF, it is recommended to use it under the supervision of a doctor and ensure close attention to the condition of the mother and fetus.
Self-administration of CEF without medical supervision should be avoided during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or suspect of pregnancy and need to use this medicine, you should explain the situation to your doctor in detail and use it according to your doctor's advice. Additionally, maternal and fetal conditions should be continuously monitored during use to ensure safety.
In short, the use of CEF during pregnancy should be cautious and must be used under the guidance of a doctor to ensure the safety of the mother and fetus.
