Upper respiratory, ear and skin infections caused by bacteria
no
Yes, cephalexin 500 mg can be used to treat sinus infections, particularly if they are caused by bacteria susceptible to this antibiotic. However, it is not the first-line treatment for sinusitis; doctors typically prescribe other antibiotics, such as amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate, unless there are specific reasons to use cephalexin. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
i have a liquad cephalexin that i had filled on may 21st and vever used. can i still use it
Cephalexin (Cefalexin) is an antibiotic that affects a wide range or bacteria. It is used for a number of different infections including Chest infections and Urinary Tract Infection (aka 'water infection') It is commonly used as an alternative to a Penicillin, if the patient is allergic to Penicillins.
yes
Both Amoxicillin and Cephalexin are prescribed medications that would be issued under the treatment of a physician. Therefore, a physician would have to give the directive to use both antibiotics simultaneously. It is unlikely that any physician would prescribe both at the same time. More importantly, both Amoxicillin and Cephalexin are antibiotics, often used to treat the same diagnosis such as urinary tract infection or a sinus infection. What differentiates them is their spectrum classification that relates to their inherent effectiveness to the level of infection. Amoxicillin is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, treating a smaller range of bacteria than the broad-spectrum antibiotic, Cephalexin. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics tend to be lower in cost, and are often considered the first line of defense especially in milder case infections. When Amoxicillin is ineffective in combating the infection, Cephalexin may be prescribed for a more aggressive course of action due to its broader range of bacteria effectiveness. It would be superfluous to use both Amoxicillin and Cephalexin as their mechanism of action is similar, the disruption of bacterial cell wall synthesis. And given the additive side-effects of using both and the risks of antibiotic resistance developing, it may also be considered irresponsible.
Yes! Amoxicillin is the drug doctors give to people with sinus infection/site throat
No, most veterinarians use ceftiofur or cephalexin when they need an antibiotic from this class.
Yes, cephalexin can be used to clear pimples and bad acne; however, this must be taken as a prescription because of common side effects, including sore joints, bloody diarrhea and nausea.
Cephalexin oral suspension IP is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. It works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall synthesis, leading to their destruction. This medication is particularly useful for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills, such as children. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
Cephalexin is an antibiotic that can be prescribed to treat certain bacterial infections, including some types of skin and respiratory infections. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as not all infections are bacterial, and misuse of antibiotics can lead to resistance. If you suspect you have an infection, it's best to seek medical advice rather than self-medicate.
