What Experts Say

Cephradine is a dependable first generation cephalosporin that kills bacteria by disrupting the wall they need to survive. It works well against many bacteria causing common throat, skin and urinary infections.

Taken by mouth several times a day, it is a convenient choice for treating everyday infections at home. Doctors select it when the likely bacteria are sensitive to this class of antibiotic.

As with all antibiotics, finishing the full course matters even after symptoms improve, to clear the infection and slow resistance. A history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy should always be shared with the doctor.
