Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Phexin 250 Capsule. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Phexin 250 Capsule
Phexin 250 Capsule contains Cefalexin (250mg). It belongs to the Cephalosporin class of medicines.
Uses of Phexin 250 Capsule
Treatment of Bacterial infections Treatment of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) Treatment of Superficial Pyoderma

- In Urinary infection
- Phexin clears the bacteria behind burning, frequency and pain on passing urine.
- In Ear and throat infection

- In Typhoid
- Phexin kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.
How Phexin 250 Capsule works
Phexin 250mg Capsule works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell walls. It binds to specific proteins in the bacteria, blocking the formation of peptidoglycan, a key component of the cell wall. Without this support, the bacterial wall becomes weak and breaks, leading to the death of the bacteria. This makes Phexin 250mg Capsule effective in treating bacterial infections.

Warnings and precautions
Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.
Do not take Phexin if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics.
