ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
DURICEF (cefadroxil) is a cephalosporin with bactericidal activity.
_In vitro_ studies have shown
that the antibacterial activity of the cephalosporins results from
their ability to inhibit
mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
DURICEF (cefadroxil) may be indicated for the treatment of the
following infections when
caused by susceptible strains of the organisms indicated:
-
Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections when caused by _E. coli_,

some strains of _Proteus mirabilis_.
-
Skin and skin structure infections caused by _Staphylococcus aureus_
and/or group A beta-
hemolytic streptococci.
-
Acute pharyngitis-tonsillitis, when caused by group A beta-hemolytic
streptococci.
-
Lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, caused by _S.
pneumoniae (D._
_pneumoniae), S. Pyogenes_ (Group A-beta hemolytic streptococci), _K.

_aureus_.

cephalosporin group of antibiotics or to any component of the
formulation.
