Cephadex 500mg Tablet contains Cephalexin 500mg, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. The 500mg strength provides effective bactericidal action for moderate infections in adults and is one of the most commonly prescribed cephalosporins globally.

How It Works: Cephalexin inhibits bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. This disrupts the structural integrity of the growing bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death, particularly during active bacterial multiplication phases.

Common Uses: Cephadex 500mg is prescribed for skin and soft tissue infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, uncomplicated urinary tract infections, and otitis media (middle ear infections) caused by susceptible bacterial organisms.

Administration: Cephadex 500mg is typically taken every 6–12 hours depending on infection severity. It may be taken with or without food. Always complete the full prescribed antibiotic course to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

Storage: Store at room temperature below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of children's reach.

Disclaimer: Prescription required. Patients with known cephalosporin or penicillin allergies should consult their physician before use. This content is informational only.
