Medicine Information
Cephadex 500 Capsule is used to treat bacterial infections in different parts of the body. Whether it is the right medicine for you depends on the specific infection, your medical history, allergies, other medications you are taking and a doctor's professional judgment.
This medicine targets bacteria that are susceptible to cephalexin. It is not intended to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu. Leftover antibiotics from earlier treatments should not be used again, and prescription medicines should not be shared with others.
