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)
Lixy Syrup (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.
Like all medications, cefadroxil can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Some common side effects include:
In rare cases, cefadroxil can cause more serious side effects, including:
Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
Stomach upset
Rash
Itching
Vaginal yeast infection
Allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
Seizures
Liver problems
Kidney problems
It is generally safe to consume alcohol while taking cefadroxil, but it is always best to consult with your doctor.
Cefadroxil may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some people. If you experience these side effects, avoid driving or operating machinery until they subside.
Cefadroxil is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it is always best to talk to your doctor before taking any medication during these periods.
The dosage and form of cefadroxil for children will vary depending on their age and weight. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
If you have kidney problems, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage of cefadroxil. Be sure to tell your doctor about any kidney problems you have.
Cefadroxil can sometimes affect the liver, but this is rare. Tell your doctor if you have any liver problems.
