Bacterial infections in children such as throat/tonsil infections, ear infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections caused by susceptible organisms
Cephalexin is a first‑generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is not effective for viral infections like common cold or flu.
Paediatric oral drops/suspension: Use only as prescribed by the doctor. Shake well before each dose, measure with the provided dropper/syringe, and give at evenly spaced intervals; can be given with or without food (with food if stomach upset occurs). Complete the full prescribed course even if the child feels better.
Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, rash, itching, headache, dizziness, oral/vaginal thrush
Prescription antibiotic—use only for confirmed/suspected bacterial infection. Do not use in patients with known allergy to cephalexin/cephalosporins; use with caution in penicillin allergy (cross‑reactivity possible). Use caution in kidney impairment (dose adjustment may be needed). Stop and seek medical help if severe allergy (swelling, breathing difficulty), severe skin rash, or severe/persistent diarrhoea occurs (risk of antibiotic‑associated colitis).
Warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk/INR), Probenecid (increases cephalexin levels), Metformin (may increase metformin levels), Live bacterial vaccines such as oral typhoid vaccine (reduced vaccine effectiveness), Other nephrotoxic drugs (caution)
Store below 25°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep tightly closed. If supplied as dry powder to reconstitute, store the reconstituted suspension as per label directions (often in a refrigerator) and discard after the recommended period.
