Cephalexin 500

Description

Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, respiratory tract infections, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to the destruction of the bacteria. A 500 mg dose is usually prescribed for moderate infections. Cephalexin is usually well tolerated, but it may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, and changes in liver function tests. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
