  • Description

    Cephalexin is a valuable antibiotic in the cephalosporin class, used to treat various bacterial infections. It acts on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by disrupting the bacterial cell wall. Specifically, cephalexin inhibits the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a structural component of the cell wall, leading to cell wall weakness and eventual bursting of the bacterial cell, known as lysis. To mitigate the effect of stomach acid, which can degrade cephalexin, it is advisable to take the drug with food or milk for optimal absorption. Overall, cephalexin is a crucial weapon in the armamentarium against bacterial infections, especially when used as prescribed.
