Cephalexin is an antibiotic from the cephalosporin class used to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and is indicated for respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and some bone infections.

Cephalexin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby killing the bacteria. It is available in capsule, tablet, or oral suspension form and is well-tolerated by most patients.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, it can cause severe reactions such as pseudomembranous colitis. It is contraindicated in patients with allergies to cephalosporins or penicillins.
