Cefadroxil is a prescription-only medication, meaning it’s not legally available over the counter in the U.S. The Klarity platform connects you with licensed providers who follow clinical guidelines to ensure cefadroxil is used safely. If cefadroxil isn’t appropriate, your provider can suggest an alternative antibiotic or treatment plan.
Cefadroxil is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections. However, there are several alternatives available, each of which may be preferred based on the type of infection, duration of activity, method of administration, or individual health factors.
Below, we’ll explore some commonly prescribed alternatives to cefadroxil:
| Medication | Class | Common Uses | Common Uses |
| Augmentin | Penicillin-class antibiotic (amoxicillin/clavulanate) | Effective for respiratory infections, sinus infections, ear infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) | Yes |
| Cefdinir | Third-generation cephalosporin | Often prescribed for acute COPD exacerbation (chronic bronchitis), pneumonia, skin infections, and sinus infections | Yes |
| Clindamycin | Lincosamide antibiotic | Best suited for skin infections, gynecological infections and anaerobic infections | Yes |
| Levofloxacin | Fluoroquinolone antibiotic | Often used for treating pneumonia | Yes |
| Metronidazole | Nitroimidazole antibiotic | Widely used for anaerobic bacterial infections | Yes |
| Ceftriaxone | Third-generation cephalosporin | Commonly used for serious infections such as meningitis, bloodstream infections, gonococcal infection and pneumonia | No, only available as an injection |
| Ciprofloxacin | Fluoroquinolone antibiotic | Frequently used for UTIs, gastrointestinal infections, and some types of skin infections | Yes |
| Cephalexin | First-generation cephalosporin | Effective against skin infections, UTIs, and otitis media | Yes |
| Azithromycin | Macrolide antibiotic | Treats respiratory infections, certain STDs, skin infections, and ear infections | Yes |
The choice of antibiotic depends on the type of infection, the specific bacteria involved, and individual patient factors like allergies and medical history. While cefadroxil is a reliable option for many bacterial infections, these alternatives offer different strengths and have unique features that make them suitable for specific situations.
If you’re unsure which antibiotic is right for your condition, consult with a licensed telehealth provider. They can assess your symptoms and recommend the most effective treatment plan based on your needs.
