Other Information

Cefa-Drops (cefadroxil) contain a semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic intended for oral administration. Cefa-Drops has an orange-pineapple flavor.

Cefadroxil is a member of a group of semi-synthetic derivatives of cephalosporin C, found among the metabolic products of the fungus Cephalosporium acremonium. The cephalosporins are structurally related to the penicillins in that both contain a 4-member beta-lactam ring. Cefadroxil is a 7-amino cephalosporanic acid substituted at the 7 position to form a molecule designated chemically as (6R, 7R)-7- [(R)-2-amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]- 3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0] oct-2- ene-2-carboxylic acid monohydrate:
