PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Drug Uses
Cephalexin is used for the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, the middle ear, tonsils, the larynx, bronchitis, pneumonia, the bones, the skin, and the reproductive and urinary systems.
How it is taken
Cephalexin can be taken by mouth with or without food. However, the best way to use the drug is as recommended by your doctor.
The normal dosage for adults is 1 to 4 gms divided throughout the day where as children are treated with much smaller doses.
Drug Class & Mechanism
Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the cell wall of the bacteria. This causes the cell wall to rupture thereby killing the bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, E. coli and several other bacteria are susceptible to Cephalexin.
Missed Dosage
If you miss a dose of Cephalexin, then you may take it as soon as you remember and adjust the remaining doses accordingly. However, if it is nearly time for the next dose then you may skip this dose and continue with the regular dosage. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
Storage
Store it at room temperature (between between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C) in an air tight container protecting it from direct exposure to light, heat and moisture. Keep away from pets and children.
