Generic KeflexThis medicine contains the active ingredient cephalexin, which is an antibiotic medicine used to treat infections with bacteria. It belongs to a group of antibiotics called the cephalosporins.Cephalexin treats bacterial infections by killing the bacteria causing the infection. It does this by preventing the bacteria from forming normal cell walls. The cell walls of bacteria protect the bacterial cells and are essential for their survival. When these cell walls are not formed correctly it causes them to disintegrate and the bacteria therefore die. Cephalosporins are known as broad-spectrum antibiotics because they are active against awide variety of types of bacteria. To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to cephalexin your doctor may take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the throat or skin, or a urine or blood sample.
