Cephalexin 500mg is an antibiotic medication belonging to the class of cephalosporins. Here’s some important information about Cephalexin:

Mechanism of Action: Cephalexin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It does this by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell wall, leading to the disruption of cell wall formation and eventual bacterial cell death.

Indications: Cephalexin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Common indications include respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and tonsillitis), skin and soft tissue infections (such as cellulitis and wound infections), urinary tract infections (such as cystitis), bone infections, and otitis media (ear infections).
