Cefadroxil 500mg is an antibiotic medication belonging to the cephalosporin class. Here are some key points about Cefadroxil:

Mechanism of Action: Cefadroxil works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria. It achieves this by binding to specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall.

Indications: Cefadroxil is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. These infections may include urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections (such as pharyngitis and tonsillitis), and other bacterial infections.

Dosage: The typical dosage of Cefadroxil for adults is 1-2 grams per day, divided into 1-2 doses. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of the infection, the type of bacteria causing the infection, and other factors such as kidney function. It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
