Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT

Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT contains cefadroxil 125 mg in each tablet. It is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like the common cold or flu. Doctors may prescribe Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT for infections such as skin, throat, urinary tract, and some other susceptible bacterial infections. This tablet disperses in water, which can make it easier to take for people who have trouble swallowing whole tablets.

How it works: Cefadroxil works by stopping bacteria from building strong cell walls, which weakens and kills the germs causing the infection. In tablet form, Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT is taken by mouth and disperses before swallowing, helping deliver the antibiotic dose your doctor selected.

Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT is a low-strength cefadroxil tablet that can fit smaller or more carefully adjusted doses than higher-strength products. A doctor may choose this form when a lower amount per dose is needed, especially for children or for dose titration based on age, weight, and infection severity. Because there are no other listed strengths or forms in this brand lineup, the 125 mg tablet is the specific product available here and is meant to be used exactly as prescribed.

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

• Take Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not change the dose on your own.
• The tablet can be dispersed in water if directed, then swallowed right away after it breaks up.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
• Try to take each dose at the same time each day to keep a steady level of antibiotic in your body.
• Finish the full course even if you feel better before it is done.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Cefadur 125 mg Tablet DT provides 125 mg of cefadroxil per tablet, so the total daily dose depends on how many tablets your doctor prescribes. It may be taken once daily or divided into 2 doses in some treatment plans, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount are determined by the prescriber based on the infection and the patient’s age and weight. Because this is a 125 mg strength, it is designed for carefully measured dosing rather than self-adjusted use.

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