Hi. Read and understood that you are 80 years old and taking lisinopril for hypertension. Consulted the Doctor for coughing and sneezing, gave Cefadroxyl 500 out of which you took for 4 dosages and discontinued as there is no fever and you are feeling tired. I think if the Doctor gives a course one should complete and see the Doctor in case any problem and not to take decisions on your own unless there is a severe reaction.
