What is Cephalexin and How to Take It
Cephalexin is a type of antibiotic that comes under the umbrella of cephalosporins. Cephalexin is commonly available as brand names, including Keflex, Bio-Cef, Panixine DisperDose and Daxbia.
It is generally prescribed to treat bacterial infections, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, otitis media, urinary tract infections and bone infections. Some other drugs from the same class include cefixime, cefaclor, cefadroxil, cefdinir, and cefuroxime—these work by stopping the production of cell walls in bacteria leading to their death.
Cephalexin is used to treat strep throat, ear infections, respiratory tract infections; pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs); bone infections and skin infections. Keflex prescription is also used for penicillin-allergic patients with a heart condition and undergoing dental procedures, as Cephalexin can help prevent heart valve infections. The duration of the treatment depends on the illness and severity of the infection. Prescription cephalexin should be taken as advised to reduce the chances of antibiotic-resistant infection.
Keflex online is available as a tablet, capsule or oral suspension. It can be taken with or without food and preferably at the same time every day. The Keflex prescription dosage depends on the severity and type of infection. Always follow Keflex instructions, take the prescribed dosage, and complete the entire course of medication.
