CephalexinThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Cephalexin but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Cephalexin (when available) Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic which is effective against most gram-positive bacteria. Cephalexin is used to treat otitis media and respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. For the treatment of respiratory, skin, soft tissue, urintary tract infections caused by; S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, staphylococci, S. pyogenes (group A ß-hemolytic streptococci), E. coli, P. mirabilis, Klebsiella sp, coagulase-negative staph Mechanism Of Action: Cephalexin, like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cephalexin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.

No information is available about the interaction of cephalexin and metformin following multiple doses of either drug. Although not observed in this study, adverse effects could potentially arise from co-administration of cephalexin and metformin by inhibition of tubular secretion via organic cationic transporter systems. Accordingly, careful patient monitoring and dose adjustment of metformin is recommended in patients concomitantly taking cephalexin and metformin. Probenecid ó As with other b -lactams, the renal excretion of cephalexin is inhibited by probenecid. Drug / Laboratory Test Interactions As a result of administration of Keflex, a false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine may occur. This has been observed with Benedictís and Fehlingís solutions and also with Clinitest® tablets. -->--> Chemical IUPAC Name: 8-(2-amino-2-phenyl-acetyl)amino-4-methyl-7-oxo-2-thia-6-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-4-ene-5-carboxylicacid : |
