Cefadroxil is widely used as an antibiotic to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis and impetigo. It is also prescribed for urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Additionally, Cefadroxil is used to treat tonsillitis and pharyngitis, particularly those caused by Streptococcus species. Its extended half-life allows for less frequent dosing, making it a convenient option for patients. It is often chosen for its broad-spectrum activity and ability to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
