Cefadroxil

Is a type of antibiotic called a cephalosporin.

Cefadroxil is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including:

Skin infections

Ear infections (otitis media)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Respiratory infections (like bronchitis and pneumonia)

Odoxil Dt 250mg Tab (Cefadroxil) works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It does this by interfering with the bacteria's ability to build cell walls, which are essential for their survival. This leads to the bacteria's death and helps your body fight off the infection.

Store cefadroxil at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of cefadroxil will depend on your age, weight, the type of infection you have, and how your body responds to the medication.

It is typically taken by mouth with a glass of water. You should take it at regular intervals, as directed by your doctor.

Do not stop taking cefadroxil before finishing the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to the infection returning.
