🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionCefadroxil is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The presence of food does not significantly affect the extent of absorption. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a live organism and its viability and colonization are not typically measured in plasma.
DistributionCefadroxil distributes widely into body tissues and fluids, including the skin, tonsils, and urinary tract. It does not penetrate the cerebrospinal fluid well in the absence of inflammation. Lactobacillus acidophilus remains primarily in the gastrointestinal tract.
Protein BindingCefadroxil is approximately 20% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismCefadroxil is not significantly metabolized in the body and is excreted largely unchanged.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of cefadroxil is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours in individuals with normal kidney function.
ExcretionCefadroxil is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. Lactobacillus acidophilus is excreted in the feces.
BioavailabilityThe oral bioavailability of cefadroxil is approximately 90%.
Onset of ActionThe antibiotic effect begins within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of cefadroxil are reached approximately 1.5 to 2 hours after oral administration.
Duration of ActionThe antibacterial effect of cefadroxil lasts approximately 12 hours, allowing for twice-daily dosing.

How It Works

Cefadroxil, the antibiotic component, works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting the final step of peptidoglycan synthesis. This leads to weakening of the bacterial cell wall and ultimately cell lysis and death. Lactobacillus acidophilus, the probiotic component, helps restore and maintain the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which can be disrupted by antibiotic therapy.

Mechanism Steps

1
Binding to penicillin-binding proteins: Cefadroxil binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins on the bacterial cell membrane.
2
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: This binding inhibits the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which are essential for bacterial cell wall integrity.
3
Bacterial cell lysis: The weakened cell wall leads to osmotic instability and ultimately bacterial cell death.
4
Probiotic restoration: Lactobacillus acidophilus colonizes the gut and helps restore beneficial bacteria that may be killed by the antibiotic.
