This antibiotic is super-effective at relieving my tonsillitis. I suffer from severe tonsillitis once every year or two and Cefadroxil eliminates the inflammation and fever within a couple of days!

I was given a rx for 1 gram twice a day and then developed liver inflammation X3 and was not well for about 2 wks. I think I was given a very high dose -

Chronic osteomyelitis: I am taking 500mg of Cefadroxil for the rest of my life (hopefully 60+ years), and my infectious disease doctor prescribed this to me to keep the infection at bay. I needed a bone graft, and Cefadroxil (and Cefazolin) helped decrease my bacterial counts so the surgery could proceed.

I had skin infection and had a bump. My doctor prescribed me this medication. It clears the infection after completing the course. During the course I had little Diarrhea and stomach pain. After completing the course, I had severe itching started on my Anal and in Urinal. I developed very bad Yeast infection. Which is last long for 10+ days. Very bad experience.

I was prescribed 500 mg 2x a day for 10 days to treat a bladder infection. I had no side effects. My only problem is that it didn't work. 10 days and I still have a bladder infection. I am now on Bactrim.

This was prescribed for sinus infection and ear problems after a bout of the flu. I had a headache for a time and some muscle aches. No worrisome GI problems. Sinus infection is cleared up and ear issues so it was effective.

My daughter is taking it for severe acne/infection as a replacement for Doxycycline. She reports severe stomach pain and nausea that become unbearable when she tries to exercise or exert herself in any way.

I was prescribed 500MG prior to having a salavia stone removed from the duct under my tongue. I took 1 pill and my head started itching, I developed congestion and a cough and stomach discomfort. I got the Dr. to call in something else to take.

This med was prescribed subsequent to having a nerve stimulator device implanted for the bladder to prevent bladder infection. My only problem has been I came down with a painful sore throat on the second day of taking this medication. Not sure if it is a secondary infection or what.
