Antibiotics & Antibacterial

 distributed to body tissues and fluids. These characteristics allow for once or twice daily administration  of  Cefadroxil. 
 Cefadroxil has a bactericidal action against  Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as:   
 Staphylococci, β-hemolytic streptococci, Streptococci  pneumonia, E . coli, Klebsiella and Proteus mirabilis.
