Product Info:

Cefadroxil is used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It belongs to the class of medicines known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth.

Uses:

Cefadroxil is used in both dogs and cats to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, wound infections, bone infections, pneumonia, and bladder infections. Cefadroxil is similar to Cephalexin, and veterinarians often use the two drugs interchangeably as they have equal effectiveness.

Cautions:

Cefadroxil may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with Cefadroxil. Such drugs include various other antibiotics. A pet that shows sensitivity to other cephalosporin drugs (cephalexin) or to penicillins (amoxicillin, ampicillin) may also be sensitive to Cefadroxil. Sensitivity includes allergies or vomiting.

Side Effects:

The most common side effect in animals is vomiting shortly after administration. It is usually not a sign of serious disease, but indicates that the pet is sensitive to this drug. It is not unusual for some animals to develop diarrhea from orally administered antibiotics, such as Cefadroxil. However, this has not been a common complaint with Cefadroxil.
