Cefdinir manufacturer?

Who makes cefdinir (brand and generic manufacturers)?

Cefdinir is sold as both a generic antibiotic and under brand names (most commonly Omnicef). The exact “manufacturer” depends on the specific product strength (capsules vs. suspension) and the National Drug Code (NDC) on the package.

Because cefdinir products can come from multiple companies (including generic manufacturers), the most reliable way to identify the specific maker is to check the NDC printed on the bottle or box and match it to the product label.

What should you check on the bottle to find the exact manufacturer?

Look for these items on the package label:
- NDC number (best way to pinpoint the exact product source)
- “Manufactured for” / “Distributed by” text
- Manufacturer name and address
- Whether it’s a brand product (Omnicef) or a generic

Generic cefdinir labels often show a different “manufacturer” than the company you may recognize from the pharmacy shelf.

Tell me your NDC (and form) and I can pinpoint the manufacturer

If you share:
- the NDC number from your package, and
- whether it is cefdinir capsules or cefdinir suspension (and the strength),
I can narrow down which company is listed as the manufacturer/distributor for that specific product.
