Compare Cephalexin Products

Cephalexin is the active ingredient, rather than a single brand name. Products containing the same active ingredient can be supplied by different pharmaceutical manufacturers and may be offered in different strengths, dosage forms and pack sizes. When comparing products listed in this category, check the individual product page rather than selecting an option based on strength or price alone.

Useful details to compare include:

• Strength: confirm the amount of Cephalexin in each tablet, capsule or measured dose.

• Dosage form: check whether the product is a capsule, tablet or another oral formulation.

• Manufacturer and brand: generic Cephalexin may be sold by different manufacturers or under different brand names.

• Pack size: compare the quantity supplied in each available pack.

• Current price: view the individual product details for current pricing and available pack options.

A higher numerical strength does not mean that a product is automatically more appropriate for a particular infection. The prescribed strength, frequency and treatment duration can vary according to the infection, patient age, kidney function and other clinical considerations.

What Is Cephalexin?

Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibacterial medicine. It works against susceptible bacteria by interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation. It is used for certain bacterial infections, including specified respiratory tract, ear, skin and skin-structure, bone and genitourinary infections. The exact use depends on the bacteria involved and their susceptibility to the antibiotic.

Cephalexin does not treat viral illnesses such as colds or influenza. Unnecessary antibiotic use can contribute to antibiotic resistance, so antibacterial medicines should be used only when prescribed or otherwise directed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Generic Cephalexin, Brands and Manufacturers

Shoppers may encounter Cephalexin as a generic medicine as well as products marketed under different brand names. A brand name, manufacturer and active ingredient are separate pieces of information: Cephalexin identifies the active ingredient, while the manufacturer identifies the company responsible for a particular finished product.

Before ordering, review the individual product information for the exact active ingredient, strength, dosage form, manufacturer, pack quantity and other supplied details. Product names, packaging and availability can differ between markets, so do not assume that similarly named products are interchangeable without appropriate professional guidance.

Cephalexin Safety Information

Cephalexin can cause side effects. Commonly reported reactions include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion and abdominal pain. More serious reactions can occur, including severe hypersensitivity reactions and antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Cephalexin is contraindicated in people with known hypersensitivity to Cephalexin or other cephalosporin antibacterial medicines. A healthcare professional should also know about previous reactions to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics and about kidney problems, because these factors may affect treatment decisions.

Seek urgent medical attention for symptoms of a serious allergic reaction. Severe or persistent diarrhea during or after antibiotic treatment also requires medical evaluation. Always follow the instructions supplied with the specific medicine and the directions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
