DURICEF (cefadroxil) is a cephalosporin with bactericidal activity.

following infections when
caused by susceptible strains of the organisms indicated:

-
Skin and skin structure infections caused by _Staphylococcus aureus_
and/or group A beta-

-
Acute pharyngitis-tonsillitis, when caused by group A beta-hemolytic
streptococci.
-
Lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, caused by _S.
pneumoniae (D._
