Phalexin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the class of medications known as cephalosporins. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. The medication works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. Phalexin is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules, and it is usually taken with or without food. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and allergic reactions. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Patients with a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillins should inform their healthcare provider before use. Phalexin should be used with caution in individuals with kidney impairment. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
