Cefadur 100 mg Drop

Cefadur 100 mg Drop is a prescription antibiotic drop formulation that contains cefadroxil 100 mg per pack. Cefadroxil belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, which are used to treat certain bacterial infections. Cefadur 100 mg Drop may be prescribed for infections such as throat, skin, urinary tract, and some other susceptible bacterial infections when a doctor decides this form is appropriate. It is not used for viral illnesses like the common cold or flu.

How it works: Cefadroxil works by stopping bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which weakens and kills the bacteria. The drop form lets the medicine be measured and given in small, accurate amounts, which can be useful for children or adults who need a lower dose.

Cefadur 100 mg Drop is a low-dose liquid form, which can be helpful for patients who need flexible dosing or have trouble swallowing tablets. Because this is a 100 mg strength, a doctor may choose it when smaller, more precise amounts are needed rather than a higher-strength capsule or tablet. The exact dose and schedule depend on the infection, the patient’s age and weight, and kidney function.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Other infections caused by susceptible bacteria

• Use Cefadur 100 mg Drop exactly as prescribed; measure the dose carefully with the device provided or as directed.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose if instructed by the label or pharmacist.
• You may take the drops with or without food, but taking them with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Give the medicine at evenly spaced times to help keep the antibiotic level steady in the body.
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve early, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• Do not use this drop product for a cold, flu, or other viral infection.

Cefadur 100 mg Drop provides 100 mg of cefadroxil per pack as a liquid drop antibiotic. The number of doses per day can vary; cefadroxil is often prescribed once or twice daily, but the doctor decides the exact schedule, and the maximum daily amount depends on the infection and the patient’s age, weight, and kidney function. Do not change the dose or frequency on your own, especially with this low-dose form that is meant for careful dose adjustment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Cefadroxil may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Loose stools

• Mild dizziness or headache

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergy to cefadroxil, penicillin, or other cephalosporin antibiotics.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney disease, because the dose may need adjustment.
• Contact your doctor if diarrhea is severe or watery, since antibiotics can cause serious colon infection.
• Tell your clinician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding so they can confirm it is appropriate for you.
• If the drops contain sweeteners or flavoring, people with diabetes should ask about the formulation and any added sugar.
• Do not drive or do tasks that need alertness if you feel dizzy after taking the medicine.
• Avoid sharing this antibiotic with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms.

• Probenecid
• Live bacterial vaccines such as typhoid vaccine
• Strong diuretics like furosemide or other kidney-stressing medicines
• Other antibiotics that your doctor may want to review for overlap or treatment failure risk
• Warfarin or other blood thinners, because antibiotic use may affect bleeding risk
