Side-effects
- Pain at inj site; hypersensitivity; GI disturbances; eosinophilia
- neutropenia
- leucopenia
- thrombocytopenia. Potentially Fatal: Anaphylactic reactions; nephrotoxicity.
Drug Interactions
Lactic acidosis can be lethal if used concurrently with metfromin.
Vitamin K antagonists' anticoagulant impact may be enhanced (for example, warfarin). Potent diuretics (for example, ethacrynic acid, furosemide) and other potentially nephrotoxic antibiotics increase the risk of nephrotoxicity (for example, aminoglycosides, polymyxin, colistin).
When oral anticoagulants and prothrombin time are used together, the prothrombin time may be prolonged.
Contraindications
Avoid this medicine if you have hypersensitivity to the active ingredient to cephalosporins.
Mode of actions
Cefalexin binds to one or more penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which inhibits the last transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan formation in the bacterial cell wall, halting biosynthesis and causing bacterial cell death.
