The typical adult dosage for Cefadroxil to treat a UTI is 500 mg every 12 hours for 7-14 days. Your doctor will determine the precise duration based on your individual needs and the severity of your infection.
Important Note: This is a general guideline. A healthcare professional will tailor your dosage and treatment length. Factors such as your kidney function, overall health, and the type of bacteria causing the infection influence the optimal treatment plan. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Higher dosages (up to 1 gram every 12 hours) may be prescribed in certain cases, but this is only determined by a physician after careful evaluation. Never adjust your medication without consulting your doctor.
Potential side effects, although uncommon, include diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset. Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately.
Remember: Cefadroxil is an antibiotic, and improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance. Complete the entire course of medication, even if you feel better before finishing it.
