Cefadroxil Duricef is a cephalosporin antibiotic which is used to treat mild infections like strep throat and urinary tract infections. It destroys the cell walls of the infecting bacteria to prevent it from multiplying. While Cefradoxil Duricef is capable of killing susceptible bacteria, it is ineffective for viruses, parasites and fungi.

When can you NOT take Cefradoxil Duricef?

Cefadroxil Duricef is not for patients who are allergic to penicillin or other cephalosporin antibiotics. Safety precautions are needed for people who have a hypersensitivity to penicillin. There are insufficient studies about the effects of this antibiotic to unborn babies so you need to consult your doctor first before taking this drug if you're pregnant. Same rule applies when you're breastfeeding. It is recommended that you use alternative infant feeding methods while under medication to prevent contamination to your baby.

Side-effects

Taking Cefadroxil Duricef can cause several adverse effects. These effects still vary across different patients. Some of the most common are abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, heartburn and loss of appetite among others. However if you're suffering from these symptoms over prolonged periods while under medication, you need to consult your doctor so he can consider taking you out of the antibiotic.

Safety precautions

Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions before taking Cefadroxil Duricef. Special measures are undertaken when administering this drug to patients who are also suffering from kidney disorders and gastrointestinal disease. Taking this drug longer than is necessary or is recommended may produce bacteria that are immune to the antibiotic when it is used the second time. Follow your doctor's advice according to the dosage and schedule when you're supposed to take this drug. You're going to need to take the antibiotic throughout the prescribed duration whether or not you feel that the infection is already treated.

If you're also taking contraceptives or birth control pills, you need to inform your doctor about it because the antibiotic may decrease the effectiveness of these medicines. It may result in an unwanted pregnancy so the doctor would need to prescribe additional forms of birth control. There are other drugs that could also interfere with the effectiveness of Cefadroxil Duricef. Inform your doctor if you're taking herbal medicines, vitamins and medications prescribed by other doctors before starting on the antibiotic.

The antibiotic can also affect certain laboratory tests so make sure to inform the personnel that you're under medication.
