Cephalexin 200mg tablets are a bacterial infection treatment. Effective against lung (pneumonia), urinary tract, ear, sinus, throat, and skin infections, this antibiotic eliminates bacteria, alleviating symptoms and resolving the infection. Take Cephalexin 200mg with food, consistently at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Maintaining a regular schedule improves adherence. Dosage varies depending on the infection, but always complete the prescribed course; premature discontinuation may lead to recurrence. It's ineffective against viral illnesses like colds and flu.
