Cefadroxil, the active ingredient, belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, and is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. It is typically prescribed for conditions such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and more. The dry syrup formulation not only makes it palatable for children but also allows for easy dosage adjustments. Always ensure to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance.
