Cefa-Drops (cefadroxil)

Cefa-Drops is a prescription oral medication for dogs and cats that contains cefadroxil, a cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefadroxil is bactericidal, and kills certain gram-negative and positive bacteria by penetrating and breaking down their cell walls, making them susceptible. Cefa-Drops are used in the treatment of  infections of the genitourinary tract (cystitis), skin (cellulitis, dermatitis, pyoderma), as well as infected wounds and abscesses. If your pet has been diagnosed with an infection, your veterinarian may prescribe an oral antibiotic such as Cefa-Drops for treatment. Orange-pineapple flavored. Cefa-Drops comes as a powder that is mixed with water to form 50 mg/mL strength, and is available in 15mL and 50mL bottles.
