What is cephalexin?.

Cephalexin is a cephalosporin (SEF a low spor in) antibiotic. It works by fighting bacteria in your body.

Cephalexin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, including upper respiratory infections, ear infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections and bone infections.

Cephalexin is used to treat infections in adults and children who are at least 1 year old.

Warnings:

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to cephalexin or to similar antibiotics, such as Ceftin, Cefzil, Omnicef, and others. Tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, especially penicillins or other antibiotics.

Before taking this medicine:

Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to cephalexin or to other cephalosporin antibiotics, such as:

cefaclor (Ceclor, Raniclor);

cefadroxil (Duricef);

cefazolin (Ancef, Kefzol);

cefdinir (Omnicef);

cefditoren (Spectracef);

cefpodoxime (Vantin);

cefprozil (Cefzil);

ceftibuten (Cedax);

cefuroxime (Ceftin); and others

To make sure cephalexin is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had

an allergy to any drug (especially penicillin);

liver or kidney disease; or

intestinal problems, such as colitis.

Cephalexin is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.

Cephalexin can pass into breast milk. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take cephalexin?.

Take cephalexin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets.

Do not use cephalexin to treat any condition that has not been checked by your doctor.

Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Use cephalexin for the full prescribed length of time, even if your symptoms quickly improve. Skipping doses can increase your risk of infection that is resistant to medication. This medicine will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.

Do not share cephalexin with another person, even if they have the same symptoms you have.

This medicine can affect the results of certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using this medicine.

Call your doctor at once if you have:

severe stomach pain, diarrhea that is watery or bloody (even if it occurs months after your last dose);

unusual tiredness, feeling light-headed or short of breath;

easy bruising, unusual bleeding, purple or red spots under your skin;

a seizure;

pale skin, cold hands and feet;

yellowed skin, dark colored urine;

fever, weakness; or

pain in your side or lower back, painful urination.
