Precautions

• Allergy Considerations: Avoid cephalexin if there is a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillins, as cross-reactivity can occur.
• Kidney Function: Cephalexin is primarily excreted by the kidneys, so dosage adjustments may be needed for those with kidney impairment.
• Gastrointestinal Effects: Mild to severe diarrhea may occur, and prolonged diarrhea could indicate C. difficile infection. Contact a healthcare provider if severe diarrhea develops.
• Avoid Unnecessary Use: Use only as prescribed to help prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
