Cephalexin is generally effective in the eradication of streptococci from the nasopharynx; however, substantial data establishing the efficacy of cephalexin in the subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever are not available at present.) Otitis media due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae , Staphylococcus aureus , Streptococcus pyogenes , and Moraxella catarrhalis Skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and/or Streptococcus pyogenes Bone infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and/or Proteus mirabilis Genitourinary tract infections, including acute prostatitis, caused by Escherichia coli,

CEPHALEXIN - 500 MG - CAPSULES
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of cephalexin
capsules, cephalexin for oral suspension, cephalexin tablets, and
other antibacterial drugs, cephalexin

DESCRIPTION
Cephalexin, USP is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic intended
for oral administration. It is 7-(D-
α-amino-α-phenylacetamido)-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid,
monohydrate.
Cephalexin has the following structural formula:
C
H N O S•H O M.W. 365.41
The nucleus of cephalexin is related to that of other cephalosporin
antibiotics. The compound is a
zwitterion; i.e., the molecule contains both a basic and an acidic
group. The isoelectric point of
cephalexin in water is approximately 4.5 to 5.
The crystalline form of cephalexin which is available is a
monohydrate. It is a white crystalline solid
having a bitter taste. Solubility in water is low at room temperature;
1 or 2 mg/mL may be dissolved
readily, but higher concentrations are obtained with increasing
difficulty.
The cephalosporins differ from penicillins in the structure of the
bicyclic ring system. Cephalexin has a
_D_-phenylglycyl group as substituent at the 7-amino position and an
unsubstituted methyl group at the 3-
position.
Each capsule contains cephalexin monohydrate equivalent to 250 mg (720
μmol) or 500 mg (1,439
μmol) of cephalexin.
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: CAPSULES: magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide,
