Cefadroxil is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is widely used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections. Known for its broad-spectrum activity and excellent oral absorption, Cefadroxil is effective against both Gram-positive and select Gram-negative bacteria. It is structurally and pharmacologically related to other cephalosporins, and it acts by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis, resulting in the elimination of the pathogen.
As a reliable and effective antibacterial agent, Cefadroxil is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and pharyngitis/tonsillitis. With increasing global demand for high-quality antibiotic formulations, BluepillExpress proudly offers contract and third-party manufacturing of Cefadroxil in multiple dosage forms and strengths.
Our commitment to compliance, consistent quality, and scalability enables our clients to bring their antibiotic brands to market confidently, both domestically and internationally.
Therapeutic Uses of Cefadroxil
Cefadroxil is primarily prescribed for treating bacterial infections such as:
- Upper and lower respiratory tract infections including bronchitis and pneumonia
- Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
- Urinary tract infections including cystitis and pyelonephritis
- Skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis, impetigo, and wound infections
- Bone infections in certain clinical cases
Its excellent bioavailability and tolerability profile make it suitable for both adult and pediatric use.
Mechanism of Action
Cefadroxil is a bactericidal antibiotic that inhibits the final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby preventing peptidoglycan cross-linking within the bacterial cell wall. This leads to the weakening and rupture of the cell wall, resulting in bacterial cell death.
Its activity is most potent against Gram-positive cocci such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (non-MRSA), and some Gram-negative organisms including Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
