Cephadroxil is an orally administered antibiotic, which is very similar
to cephalexin. After oral administration, its peak serum level is slightly
lower than that of cephalexin, but it is excreted more slowly.
Therefore, it can be used for oral administration at 8- or 12-hourly
intervals (Buck and Price, 1977; Pfeffer et al., 1977). Cephadroxil is
still available in a number of European countries (for example, Spain,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Finland, among others).
