Abstract

Abstract Cefadroxil is an orally active semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotic from the cephalosporin group, characterized by its prolonged action. This compound is effective against susceptible bacteria causing infections of the urinary tract, skin and soft tissue as well as pharyngitis and laryngitis.
A variety of analytical methods have been proposed for the determination of cefadroxil in biological fluids and pharmaceutical samples. This review includes the most relevant analytical methodologies used for its determination in recent years.
