Cefalexin Tablet is an antibiotic medicine containing cephalexin, a cephalosporin antibacterial drug used to treat certain infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It may be prescribed for bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, ears, skin and soft tissues, bones, joints, and urinary or genital tract, depending on the type of bacteria involved.
Cefalexin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and causes them to die. It does not work against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
This Tablet should be taken by mouth according to the dose and treatment duration prescribed by a doctor. The appropriate amount depends on factors such as the infection being treated, its severity, the patient's age, and kidney function. Do not change the dose or stop treatment early unless advised by your doctor.
