HOW Duricef WORKS

Duricef targets acne-causing bacteria and inflammation

Duricef (cefadroxil) is an oral antibiotic that helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, making it effective for moderate to severe inflammatory acne. It’s often used when other antibiotics aren’t well tolerated or haven’t worked.

With dermatology guidance, Duricef can help calm active breakouts and support clearer skin while longer-term treatments take effect.

Recommended for:

  • Moderate to severe inflammatory acne

  • Red, swollen, or painful breakouts

  • Acne on the face, chest, or back

  • Patients who can’t tolerate tetracyclines

  • Short-term control of active flares

Your dermatology provider will review your skin and confirm whether Duricef is the right fit before prescribing.

Many patients see improvement in inflammatory acne with oral antibiotics like Duricef.*

FAQ

You ask. We answer.

GET STARTED

How long does Duricef treatment last?

Duricef is typically prescribed for a limited period, often several weeks, to control active breakouts. Your provider will determine the appropriate duration.

Should I take a probiotic while on Duricef?

While probiotics aren’t required, we often recommend taking them during antibiotic use. Some patients choose to take a probiotic during treatment to help support digestive health and reduce the risk of stomach upset or antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

What are common side effects?

Common side effects include stomach upset or nausea. Most people tolerate Duricef well, and side effects are usually temporary.

Is pregnancy testing required?

No. Duricef does not require pregnancy testing or iPLEDGE enrollment. Your provider will review safe use based on your individual situation.

What if I’m under 18?

If you or your child is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian should be part of the initial consultation. In circumstances where this is not possible, please contact info@honeydewcare.com and we will assist you with alternate ways to establish parental consent.

Do you accept insurance?

We will run the prescriptions through your insurance and help you find the lowest costs out there. The membership fee and any products are also eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement.

What support can I expect from Honeydew?

We offer comprehensive support for our patients, including access to experienced providers, assistance with lab orders and the iPledge program (when needed), unlimited support, and progress tracking.
