Products matching the full generic name: Cefadroxil
Cefadroxil is a prescription antibiotic medication belonging to the class of drugs known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections by stopping the growth of bacteria.
Cefadroxil is effective in treating infections such as urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and respiratory tract infections. It is important to note that Cefadroxil is only effective against bacterial infections and will not work for viral infections like the common cold or flu.
Cefadroxil works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall formation. This action weakens the cell wall, leading to the rupture of the bacterial cell and ultimately killing the bacteria.
Cefadroxil is taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Complete the full course of Cefadroxil even if symptoms disappear after a few days to prevent the return of the infection.
Common side effects of Cefadroxil may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, severe diarrhea, and signs of kidney problems. If you experience any severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Cefadroxil should not be taken by individuals who have a known allergy to cefadroxil, other cephalosporin antibiotics, or any component of the formulation. Inform your healthcare provider of any allergies or medical conditions before starting Cefadroxil.
Before taking Cefadroxil during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider. They will weigh the potential benefits and risks to determine if it is safe for your specific situation.
Store Cefadroxil at room temperature, away from direct light, moisture, and heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not store Cefadroxil in the bathroom to avoid moisture exposure.
If you miss a dose of Cefadroxil, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
