Why order from MedsBase
Our generic medications are sourced from WHO-GMP certified manufacturers and shipped worldwide in discreet, plain packaging — no medication name on the parcel exterior.

Cephadex Capsule may be taken with or without food. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time every day will help you to remember to take it. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete a full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive and the infection may come back. It will not work for viral infections such as flu or the common cold. Using any antibiotic when you do not need it can make it less effective for future infections.
The most common side effects of this medicine include rash, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and diarrhea. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days.
Before using it, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have any kidney or liver problems. You should also let your doctor know all other medicines you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cephadex used to treat?
Cephadex (cefalexin) is a 1st-generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Common indications include skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), otitis media, pharyngitis, urinary tract infections, and bone or joint infections caused by susceptible organisms.
How quickly does Cephadex start working?
Improvement is usually noticeable within 48–72 hours. Most infections require a 7–10 day course; uncomplicated UTIs and pharyngitis may finish in 5–7 days. Complete the full prescribed course even after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence and resistance.
Is Cephadex safe if I have a penicillin allergy?
Cross-reactivity with penicillins is real but lower than historically taught — current estimates are around 2% for 1st-generation cephalosporins (higher for 1st-gen, lower for 3rd/4th-gen). If your penicillin reaction was a mild rash, a cephalosporin is usually acceptable under supervision; if you had anaphylaxis, urticaria, or any IgE-mediated reaction, avoid all cephalosporins unless a specialist allergy assessment confirms tolerance.
What are the common side effects of Cephadex?
Diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort are the most frequent. Rash, vaginal candidiasis, and headache are reported less often. Clostridioides difficile-associated colitis is an important but uncommon risk — seek medical advice if diarrhoea is severe, watery, or contains blood. Long courses can transiently raise liver enzymes.
Can I take Cephadex during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Cephalosporins are FDA Pregnancy Category B — animal studies show no harm and human data are reassuring. They are widely used in pregnancy when an antibiotic is genuinely needed (UTI, GBS prophylaxis, chorioamnionitis). Excretion into breast milk is minimal and considered compatible with breastfeeding. Discuss the indication with your clinician.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Cephadex?
Most cephalosporins do not interact with alcohol, with two exceptions (cefoperazone and cefamandole, which contain an N-methylthiotetrazole side chain that causes a disulfiram-like reaction). cefalexin is not in that group. Alcohol can still worsen GI upset and is best avoided during acute illness.
