Cephalexin

Capsule

Cephalexin Capsules IP 500 mg contain Cephalexin, a first-generation cephalosporin antibacterial medicine belonging to the beta-lactam class of antibiotics. Cephalexin is used for the treatment of certain bacterial infections caused by microorganisms susceptible to the medicine, in accordance with approved prescribing information. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This antibacterial action helps eliminate susceptible bacteria responsible for specific infections. Cephalexin should be used only under the advice of a qualified healthcare professional and for infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. It is not intended for the treatment of viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.

Mechanism

Cephalexin is a bactericidal cephalosporin antibacterial medicine that acts by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis. Bacterial cells require a strong cell wall to maintain their structure and survive. Cephalexin interferes with proteins involved in the formation of the bacterial cell wall. By disrupting the production and cross-linking of essential cell-wall components, the structural integrity of susceptible bacteria is weakened. This can ultimately result in bacterial cell destruction. The antibacterial activity of Cephalexin depends on the susceptibility of the particular microorganism. Certain bacteria may be naturally resistant or may develop resistance to Cephalexin and other antibacterial medicines.
