Cefadroxil-Oral Solid Duricef, Cefadroxil Hydrate, Cephadroxil Uses Cefadroxil is an antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Storage Store at room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom. Overdose If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. How To Use Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. Cefadroxil works best when taken on an empty stomach. However, if stomach upset occurs, it may be taken with food. Continue to take Cefadroxil until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. Side Effects Cefadroxil may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. If these effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly. Unlikely to occur but report promptly: fever, easy bleeding or bruising, change in the amount of urine, seizures. An allergic reaction to Cefadroxil is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Precautions Before taking Cefadroxil, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any medications, especially: penicillins, cephalosporins.

Use of Cefadroxil for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast infection).

Cefadroxil is excreted into breast milk. Though no problems have been noted, consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Missed Dose If you should miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose.
