Sofilex 250mg Capsule 10s (strip)

Sofilex 250mg Capsule is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, with cephalexin as its active ingredient, used to treat bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your routine — it is acid-stable and can be taken with or without food, and taking it at the same time each day at evenly spaced intervals helps maintain consistent medicine levels in your body. Some people experience diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, nausea, or skin rash as their body adjusts to treatment. It is important to complete the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually 7 to 14 days, even if symptoms improve earlier, as stopping too soon may allow the infection to return. Before starting this medicine, discuss any history of kidney problems or penicillin allergy with your doctor or pharmacist, and remember that antibiotics do not work against viral infections such as colds or flu.

The usual adult dose is 250mg every 6 hours, although some infections may require 500mg every 12 hours. Treatment duration is generally 7 to 14 days, while streptococcal throat infections may require at least 10 days of treatment. For children, dosing is usually based on body weight, commonly 25–50mg/kg/day divided into several doses. Dose adjustment may be required in patients with significant kidney impairment.
