Cefadroxil Tablets (500 mg)

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced anti-infective, beta-lactam, and dermatological therapeutics. We provide ultra-high-purity Cefadroxil Monohydrate Film-Coated Tablets (500 mg), manufactured in WHO–GMP certified, strictly dedicated Cephalosporin isolation facilities. This “First-Generation Cephalosporin” is a massive-volume, essential export to dermatology clinics, pediatric networks, primary care centers, and government health ministries in LATAM, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, serving as the globally trusted, high-compliance intervention for susceptible Gram-positive bacterial infections.


Product Overview

This formulation contains Cefadroxil, a highly stable, broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic that excels at penetrating skin and soft tissues while providing superior gastrointestinal tolerability.

The “Gram-Positive & Skin Infection” Specialist:

  • Mechanism (The Cell Wall Destroyer): Like all beta-lactams, Cefadroxil targets the bacterial cell wall. It actively binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. This violently halts the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, weakening the cell wall until the bacteria simply bursts and dies (bactericidal action).
  • The Gram-Positive Champion: First-generation cephalosporins are legendary for their devastating efficacy against Gram-positive organisms, particularly Streptococcus pyogenes (the cause of strep throat) and Staphylococcus aureus (the primary cause of skin and wound infections).
  • The Compliance Advantage (Twice-Daily Dosing): Older first-generation drugs like Cephalexin are cleared from the body very rapidly, forcing patients to take a pill every 6 hours. Cefadroxil has a significantly slower rate of elimination, allowing for highly convenient twice-daily (BID) or even once-daily (QD) dosing. This virtually guarantees that patients will actually finish their antibiotic course, preventing the development of resistant super-bugs.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

  • Dedicated Cephalosporin Isolation (CRITICAL COMPLIANCE): Global regulatory bodies (WHO, FDA, EMA) mandate that cephalosporin antibiotics must be manufactured in totally segregated, self-contained facilities to prevent cross-contamination with other drugs. Our Cefadroxil is produced in an elite, standalone Cephalosporin block with dedicated personnel, machinery, and multi-stage HEPA filtration HVAC systems, guaranteeing absolute compliance and operator safety.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the targeted eradication of susceptible bacterial pathogens:

  • Pharyngitis & Tonsillitis: First-line alternative for Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections (Strep throat) in patients who cannot tolerate Penicillin V.
  • Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Highly effective against Staphylococcal and Streptococcal infections (e.g., cellulitis, impetigo, furunculosis, and minor wound infections).
  • Urinary Tract Infections: Uncomplicated lower UTIs (cystitis) caused by susceptible strains of E. coli, P. mirabilis, and Klebsiella.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician Guidelines):

  • Standard Adult Dosing: 500 mg or 1000 mg taken every 12 hours (twice daily), depending on the severity of the infection. For Strep throat, a 1000 mg once-daily regimen is often utilized.
  • Administration: Can be administered irrespective of meals. However, taking it with food significantly decreases the risk of gastrointestinal nausea and dyspepsia.
  • Renal Impairment: Because Cefadroxil is excreted heavily by the kidneys, the dosing interval must be significantly extended (to 24 or 36 hours) in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min).

Safety Warnings (CRITICAL Regulatory & Clinical Data):

  • Beta-Lactam Cross-Hypersensitivity (BLACK BOX EQUIVALENT): Approximately 5% to 10% of patients with a documented allergy to Penicillin will also have a severe, potentially fatal anaphylactic reaction to Cephalosporins. Cefadroxil is strictly contraindicated in patients with a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity to penicillins.
  • Clostridioides difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD): Like all broad-spectrum antibiotics, Cefadroxil alters the normal flora of the colon, which can lead to overgrowth of C. difficile. Patients must be warned to seek emergency care if they develop severe, watery, or bloody diarrhea up to two months post-treatment.
  • Direct Coombs Test False Positives: Cephalosporins can coat red blood cells, causing a false positive on a Direct Coombs test, which can complicate blood cross-matching protocols in hospital settings.
