Pharmaniaga Cephalexin 500mg Capsule 10s (Strip)

Pharmaniaga Cephalexin 500mg Capsule belongs to a drug class known as first-generation cephalosporin antibiotics, and its active ingredient is cefalexin (cephalexin) 500 mg. If your doctor has prescribed this for you, it's helpful to know that some of the more commonly reported effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and occasionally dizziness or headache. This is a prescription-only broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat infections of the skin, ear, bone, and urinary tract, and it works by interfering with the ability of certain bacteria to build their protective cell walls. Many people find it reassuring that cephalexin has a long history of safe use, though it's important to complete the full course even if you start feeling better, so the infection is properly cleared and doesn't return. As always, let your doctor know if you have a known allergy to penicillins or cephalosporins, as cross-reactivity between these antibiotic groups can occur.

For adults, the usual dose is 1 to 2 grams daily, given in divided doses at 6, 8, or 12-hourly intervals depending on the infection being treated. Always complete the full course exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve before the course is finished.

• Nervousness or confusion — uncommon
