Показать описание
Welcome back to How To Medicate and welcome to this video on how and when to use Cephalexin. I already made several videos on different antibiotics and if you are interested you can find those in the playlist here:
Generic name: Cephalexin.
Brand names: Keforal, Daxbia and Keflex.
Available as a tablet
How to use it?
Tablets: Swallow the tablet whole with half a glass of water. Don’t break it and don’t chew on it.
It is best to take it at an empty stomach and take it at fixed times.
Duration of treatment?
At least 10 days.
It is important that you do not interrupt the treatment and finish it completely.
When to use it?
Cephalexin is used for ”serious” infections caused by micro-organisms sensitive to Cephalexin.
What is the correct dosage?
Always use the dosage and frequency prescribed by your own doctor.
Generally the correct dosage is; 250-500 mg every 6 hours.
What are the side-effects?
Very common (more than 10%): diarrhea.
Uncommon (0.1–1%): stomach ache, dizziness, headache, fatigue, fever and a rash.
Safety:
It is safe to use Cephalexin with alcohol (in moderation), eat it with any type of food and drive your car while using this antibiotic.
However, cephalexin can have some interactions with other drugs and it can be dangerous for people with severe kidney or liver problems. Furthermore is also important you don’t use Cephalexin if you are hypersensitive to penicillins or carbapenems.
Pregnancy and Lactation:
The usage of Cephalexin while pregnant or while breastfeeding is safe. There is extensive medical experience which does not indicate any risks or problems, but always discuss this with your treating physician.
