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

Cefalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death.

Oral drops: shake well before use, measure dose with the provided dropper/syringe. Give as prescribed by the doctor at evenly spaced intervals; can be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset). Complete the full course even if symptoms improve.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, indigestion, rash, itching, headache, dizziness

Use only for bacterial infections (not for viral colds/flu). Inform doctor if allergic to cephalosporins/penicillins or if you had severe allergy/anaphylaxis. Use with caution in kidney disease; dose adjustment may be needed. Seek urgent care for severe diarrhoea, blood in stools, severe rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Prolonged use may cause fungal overgrowth/superinfection.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), probenecid (increases cefalexin levels), metformin (may increase metformin levels), live bacterial vaccines such as oral typhoid (reduced vaccine effect)

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from light and moisture. Keep tightly closed and out of reach of children. If the product is supplied as dry syrup requiring reconstitution, store the reconstituted suspension as per label (often in refrigerator) and use within the stated period.
