Cefalexin

Uses

Cefalexin Uses Cefalexin is used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is effective for managing common mild to moderate bacterial infections.

How it Works

Cefalexin is an antibiotic that works by killing bacteria. It does this by preventing them from forming the protective covering (cell wall) that is essential for their survival.

Side Effects

Expert Advice

Your doctor has prescribed Cefalexin to treat your infection and alleviate your symptoms.
Do not skip any doses and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better.
Stopping the medication early may cause the infection to return and become more difficult to treat.
Discontinue Cefalexin and inform your doctor immediately if you experience:

A rash
Itchy skin
Swelling of the face and mouth
Difficulty breathing

Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should resolve once your treatment course is completed.
Inform your doctor if diarrhea persists or if you notice blood in your stools.
