Cephalexin is a generic antibiotic approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain bacterial infections. Cephalexin may be used to treat bacterial infections in adults and children one month of age and older.
Cephalexin is classified as a cephalosporin antibiotic, and it only treats bacterial infections. It does not work on viral infections such as the cold, flu, or COVID-19.
Cephalexin uses include the treatment of bacterial middle ear infections (otitis media), skin infections, and bone infections. It can also treat bacterial urinary tract infections and upper respiratory tract infections.
Cephalexin is available as a tablet, capsule, or liquid suspension. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the appropriate dosage of Cephalexin for your condition. Learn more about Cephalexin dosages here.
Finish the full course of treatment, even if you are feeling better. This helps prevent bacterial resistance.
Before taking Cephalexin, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any medications, especially penicillin, amoxicillin, or other antibiotics.
Consult your doctor for medical advice before using this medication if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Before taking Cephalexin, read the prescription label and patient leaflet for important information. Ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider if you have any questions.
Common side effects of Cephalexin include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and upset stomach. Most side effects of Cephalexin are mild and go away on their own. Consult your healthcare professional if side effects persist or get worse.
Cephalexin may cause hypersensitivity reactions in those who are allergic to any ingredients in the drug. Seek emergency medical help if you experience any of the following symptoms: rash, hives, dizziness, trouble breathing, or swelling around the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
The use of any antibiotic, including Cephalexin, can cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. This diarrhea can range from mild to life-threatening or fatal, so consult your healthcare provider right away if you experience diarrhea, especially if it is watery or bloody, or accompanied by stomach pain. Diarrhea can even occur several months after you finish taking Cephalexin.
This is not a complete list of side effects. Consult your healthcare provider for other possible side effects, drug interactions, and warnings before using Cephalexin.
Before taking Cephalexin, tell your health care provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and OTC drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Some drug interactions with Cephalexin include:
Blood thinners such as Coumadin (warfarin), Eliquis (apixaban), Lovenox (enoxaparin), or Xarelto (rivaroxaban)
Glucophage (metformin)
Probenecid
Rifampin
Tikosyn (dofetilide)
This is not a full list of drug interactions and others may occur. Consult your physician for medical advice.
