Cephalexin is an antibiotic that is effective against certain bacterial infections but does not directly target or eliminate Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), which is caused by a fungus. Treatment for PCP typically involves specific antifungal medications like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Cephalexin may be prescribed for secondary bacterial infections that could arise in someone with weakened immunity due to PCP, but it does not treat the underlying fungal infection itself. Always consult a healthcare provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.
