Cefadrox 250 MG Tablet 10 contains cefadroxil (250 mg). Here's how it works in your body:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefadroxil stops bacteria from making the cell walls they need to survive and grow. It does this by binding to specific proteins within the bacteria that are responsible for building these cell walls.

• Causes Cell Lysis: Cefadroxil interferes with the creation of the bacterial cell wall, so the cells can't maintain their structure and burst open—a process called lysis—resulting in the death of the bacteria.

• Resistance to Beta-Lactamases: Many bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases, which can break down antibiotics and make them ineffective. However, Cefadroxil is stable in the presence of these enzymes, meaning it can still effectively kill the bacteria.

• Store Cefadrox 250 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Keep away from light and moisture to maintain the medicine's effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is stored out of reach of children for safety.

• Always check the expiry date and use the medicine before it expires.

• Maintain good hydration: This helps your kidneys function properly and aids in flushing out the remnants of the medicine through urine, which is essential as Cefadrox 250 MG Tablet 10 is primarily expelled via the kidneys.

• Eat a balanced diet: A well-rounded diet can support your immune system. This is particularly important when managing infections, which are typically treated with Cefadrox 250 MG Tablet 10.
