Description

Cephalexin 250 Mg Cap 100, manufactured by TEVA USA, is a vital tool for healthcare professionals in combating bacterial infections. Each capsule contains 250 mg of cephalexin, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This medication is administered orally and is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring prompt delivery to target sites of infection. Cephalexin exerts its antimicrobial effects by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby effectively disrupting the growth and proliferation of susceptible organisms.

With a generous quantity of 100 capsules per bottle, healthcare professionals can conveniently prescribe adequate treatment courses for patients, promoting adherence and optimizing therapeutic outcomes. Cephalexin is widely distributed throughout the body tissues and fluids, providing broad coverage against various bacterial pathogens. It undergoes minimal metabolism and is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine, facilitating efficient elimination from the body.

Proper storage at controlled room temperature is essential to maintain the stability and efficacy of this medication. Cephalexin 250 Mg Cap 100 offers healthcare professionals a reliable and effective option for the treatment of bacterial infections, characterized by its rapid absorption, broad distribution, and convenient dosing regimen.

How to Use HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually every 6 to 12 hours with or without food. If you are using the suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose. Measure the dose carefully using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dose is also based on weight. For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same time(s) every day. Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
