It is enough resistant to penicillinases of gram positive microorganims but can be destroyed by beta-lactamases of gram negative ones. It shows broad spectrum activity against gram positive microogranisms such as Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus epidermidis; Streptococcus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium, Actinomyces israelii, Bacillus anthracis, gram negative microorganisms like Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Shigella, Salmonella. Common infections that are treated with Keflex include infections of the middle ear, tonsils, throat, larynx (laryngitis), bronchi (bronchitis) and pneumonia as well as in urinary tract, skin, and bones.

Dosage and directions

The dose of Keflex for adults is 1 to 4 grams in divided doses. The interval between doses may be 6 or 12 hours depending on the infection.

Drug interaction

Inform your doctor about all medications you take and especially about live vaccines, probenecid. Keflex may decrease the effectiveness of combination-type contraceptive pills. This medication is able to show false positive results with certain diabetic urine testing products. Keflex increases effects of indirect anticoagulants, polphenilbutazone, furosemide. Salicylates and indomethacin slow excretion of cephalexin by kidneys. Medications decreasing secretion in renal tubules increase the concentration of the medication blood serum and slow down its excretion.
