WWW.JUROX.COM.AU Customer Service 1800 023 312 ® Registered Trademark of Jurox Pty Ltd TECHNICAL NOTES ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS Cephalexin 300 mg/tablet, 600 mg/tablet. ACTIONS Cephalexin is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic which is chemically related to penicillin. Based on its broad spectrum of activity, cephalexin makes an ideal choice for trauma cases where diffusion into bone and joints may be important. It provides a good treatment and prevention for osteomyelitis and supports the needs of surgical prophylaxis. In cases of persistent infection (pyodermas and abscesses) cephalexin is ideal for long-term therapy. MICROBIOLOGY: As cephalexin is resistant to the action of β-lactamases, Cephaforte is active against strains of _Staphylococcus aureus_ that are insensitive to penicillin (or related antibiotics such as ampicillin or amoxycillin). Cephalexin has bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including _Staphylococcus_ spp., _Streptococcus_ spp., _Corynebacterium_ spp., _Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli,_ _Proteus_ spp., _Micrococcus _spp. and _Moraxella_ spp., causing death of bacterial cells through a diversity of biological and biochemical effects on the cell wall. PHARMACOKINETICS: Cephalexin is acid stable and active when administered orally. Cephalexin has an excellent absorption profile, with distribution through most body fluids and tissues including kidneys, lungs, joints, bone, soft tissues and biliary tract. Cephalexin is excreted unmetabolised in the urine, and so provides high and sustained antibiotic levels in cases of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and such levels are minimally affected by the usual variations in urinary pH associated with UTIs. Removal of the active agent is primarily through glomerular filtration through the kidneys as well as some tubular secretion. The elimination half-life of cephalexin is about one to two hours in dogs and cats. INDICATIONS Treatment of infections in dogs and cats caused by cephalexin-sensiti Read the complete document
