  • The antibiotic is only for severe infections not controlled by other antibiotics, do not take Cefadrol Capsule on your own.

Q: When should I take Cefadrol Capsule?

A: Take Cefadrol Capsule after food or along with food as it reduces the chances of side effects associated with the stomach and digestion.
