Duricef (active ingredient: cefadroxil) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Bacterial Infections: Duricef is used to treat various bacterial infections including:
    • Skin and skin structure infections
    • Pharyngitis and tonsillitis
    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
    • Bone and joint infections

Duricef belongs to a class of drugs known as cephalosporin antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the elimination of the infection.

Duricef can be taken in the form of a tablet by mouth with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice a day. If stomach upset occurs, you may take Duricef with food.

To get the best results, take Duricef at evenly spaced times every day, and aim to take it at the same time(s) each day to help you remember. Duricef should be used only for bacterial infections, as using antibiotics when they are not required can lead to antibiotic resistance. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using Duricef or any other medication.

The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and weight in children. To achieve the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help remember to take Duricef, take it at the same time(s) every day. Here are some examples of recommended dosages:

  • For urinary tract infections in children: 30 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 12 hours.
  • For streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat): 1 g per day, either as a single dose or divided into two doses taken 12 hours apart, for 10 days.
  • For skin and skin structure infections: 1 g per day, either as a single dose or divided into two doses taken 12 hours apart.
