Property：

Cephalexin Monohydrochloride is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic with antimicrobial activity similar to that of CEPHALORIDINE or CEPHALOTHIN, but somewhat less potent. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The characteristic of Cephalexin Monohydrochloride is white or almost white crysalline powder.

Usage:

Cefalexin is used to treat urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. Cefalexin is also sometimes used to treat acne.

In addition to being a rational first-line treatment for cellulitis, cefalexin is a useful alternative to penicillins in patients with penicillin hypersensitivity. In patients with mild or questionable history of penicillin allergy, cephalasporins are now thought to be relatively safe. Caution should always be taken when prescribing cephalosporins to those with strong history of true penicillin hypersensitivity, however, because cefalexin and other first-generation cephalosporins are known to have a modest cross-allergy in patients with penicillin hypersensitivity.
