What Are Cephalexin Capsules Used For?

Cephalexin capsules are antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections in dogs and humans. For dogs, cephalexin for dogs is commonly prescribed to combat skin infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, and respiratory infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria. Cephalexin is not effective against viral or fungal infections. Administered orally, the dosage for dogs depends on their weight and the infection's severity, typically given twice daily. Always consult a veterinarian before using cephalexin for dogs to ensure proper diagnosis, dosage, and treatment duration to avoid resistance or side effects.
