Uses of Tytdroxil

Tytdroxil is an antibiotic indicated for the treatment of mild and moderate infections caused by bacteria sensitive to Cefadroxil, including respiratory tract, urogenital, skin and soft tissue infections.

1. What does Tytdroxil do?

Tytdroxil drug contains the main ingredient is Cefadroxil, a first generation Cephalosporin antibiotic.
Tytdroxil has a medium spectrum of activity against gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus (except methicillin-resistant streptococcus). Tytdroxil is also indicated for the treatment of some gram-negative bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, Shigella, E.coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Tytdroxil's action is based on the inhibition of cell wall synthesis during the division phase to multiply bacteria, thereby destroying pathogenic bacteria.
The drug is quickly and almost completely absorbed orally, food does not affect the absorption of Tytdroxil. After oral administration, the drug is widely distributed in body tissues and fluids, well soluble in adipose tissue.
Tytdroxil is excreted unchanged in the urine after 24 hours.

Tytdroxil is indicated for the treatment of the following diseases:
Acute or chronic urinary tract infections: Nephritis - pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis; Infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues: lymphadenitis, abscess, cellulitis, ulcer; Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus; Lower respiratory tract infections: Pneumonia, exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, empyema, pleurisy, laryngitis; otitis media; Infections of the musculoskeletal system: Osteomyelitis, inflammatory arthritis.

5. Drug interactions

Tytdroxil taken with Cholestyramine slows down the absorption of the drug in the intestine; Probenecid can reduce the elimination of Cephalosporin antibiotics; Furocemide, Aminoglycoside when combined with Tytdroxil can synergistically increase nephrotoxicity.

6. Dosage and usage

Adults:
500mg - 1g/time x 1-2 times/day. Children:
Children from 1 to 6 years old: 250mg x 2 times/day; Children over 6 years old: 500mg x 2 times/day. Dosage for patients with renal failure:
Glomerular filtration rate from 0 to 10ml/min: The interval between 2 doses is 36 hours; Glomerular filtration rate from 10 to 25ml/min: The interval between 2 doses is 24 hours; Glomerular filtration rate from 25 to 50ml/min: The interval between 2 doses is 12 hours; Glomerular filtration rate greater than 50 mL/min should be treated as patients with normal renal function. How to use:
Patients with kidney failure need to adjust the dose because the drug is excreted in the urine, so it will cause drug accumulation in the body; Tytdroxil is acid-stable and should be taken regardless of meals.
