----------
CEPHALEXIN FOR ORAL SUSPENSION USP
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of cephalexin and
other antibacterial drugs, cephalexin for oral suspension should be
used only to treat or prevent
infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by
bacteria.
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 molecular formula C
H N O S•H O and the molecular weight is 365.41.
Cephalexin has the following structural formula:
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.
After mixing, each 5 mL of cephalexin for oral suspension, USP, will
contain cephalexin monohydrate
equivalent to 125 mg (360 μmol) or 250 mg (720 μmol) of cephalexin.
The suspensions also contain the
following inactive ingredients: strawberry powder, methylcellulose,
sodium lauryl sulfate, sucrose and
FD&C Red No. 40.
Cephalexin for oral suspension, USP is a white to off-white powder
with strawberry flavor. After
reconstitution a pink colored suspension is formed with strawberry
flavor.
