Is it safe to take cephalosporins after eating durian?

Generally, for individuals without a history of allergies, consuming a small amount of durian followed by taking cephalosporin (an antibiotic) after several hours is usually safe. However, if allergic to either substance or if durian and cephalosporin are consumed closely together in a short period of time, it may be unsafe. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional in advance. Detailed explanation is as follows:

If the body is not allergic to either durian or cephalosporin, and only a small quantity of durian is consumed, taking cephalosporin more than three hours later makes interactions between the two unlikely, with minimal risk of adverse reactions. In this case, normal water intake is acceptable, but one should remain alert for any unusual physical reactions.

If allergic to durian or cephalosporin allergy, or if cephalosporin is taken immediately after eating durian, symptoms such as skin itching or palpitations may occur. In severe cases, the body's burden may increase significantly. Such situations violate safety principles, and this combination should be avoided to prevent harm to health.

During the course of cephalosporin administration, individuals should be aware of their own allergic conditions, appropriately manage the timing of food intake and medication, and discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if any adverse reactions occur.
