Description

Adora (Cefadroxil Monohydrate) is an acid-stable semi-synthetic oral antibiotic in the cephalosporin family of drugs. Cefadroxil acts by preventing bacteria from forming protective cell wall necessary for survival. It has superior pharmacokinetic profile over all first generation cephalosporins.

Indications

Adora (Cefadroxil Monohydrate) is indicated for the treatment of patients with infection caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the following diseases:

*Upper respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococci) and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

* Urinary tract infections caused by E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella species.

* Skin and soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococci (including penicillinase producing strains) and Streptococci.

Dosage & Administration

The bioavailability and consequent chemotherapeutic effects of Cefadroxil are unaffected by foods. It may, therefore, be taken with meals or on an empty stomach. Administration with food may be helpful in diminishing potential gastrointestinal complaints occasionally associated with oral cephalosporin
