Cephalexin is a type of antibiotic called a cephalosporin.It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
Cephalexin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including:
Skin and skin structure infections (e.g., cellulitis, impetigo)
Respiratory infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)
Ear infections (e.g., otitis media)
Urinary tract infections (e.g., cystitis, pyelonephritis)
Bone and joint infections
Certain types of sexually transmitted infections
Quicef 125mg Syp 30ml (Cephalexin) works by interfering with the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a vital component of bacterial cell walls. This disruption in cell wall formation weakens the bacterial structure and ultimately leads to bacterial death.
Store cephalexin at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
The dosage of cephalexin will vary depending on the type of infection being treated and your individual health status.
It is typically taken by mouth with a full glass of water.
It can be taken with or without food.
Your doctor will determine the correct dosage and frequency for your specific situation.
It's crucial to take the entire course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you feel better before finishing the medication.
Common side effects of cephalexin include:
Less common but more serious side effects may include:
Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
Stomach pain
Yeast infection
Rash
Itching
Seizures
Liver problems
Kidney problems
Allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis)
It is generally safe to consume alcohol while taking cephalexin, but excessive alcohol intake can affect the liver and may interfere with the antibiotic's effectiveness. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Cephalexin may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals. It is important to avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Cephalexin is generally considered safe for pregnant women, but it's important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Cephalexin can pass into breast milk, so it's important to discuss with your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
Cephalexin is safe for children when used as directed by a doctor.
If you have kidney problems, your doctor may need to adjust your dose of cephalexin.
If you have liver problems, your doctor may need to monitor your liver function while you are taking cephalexin.
