KEFLEX (CEPHALEXIN) DROPS

Description

Keflex (Cephalexin) Drops is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated as oral drops for the treatment of bacterial infections in infants and young children who cannot swallow tablets or capsules. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell wall and leading to cell lysis and death, and is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and some gram-negative organisms. Commonly prescribed for pediatric infections including otitis media (ear infections), upper and lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and streptococcal pharyngitis, it offers a convenient liquid formulation for accurate and easy dosing in young patients. Being well tolerated with a favorable safety profile, it is a trusted and widely used antibiotic in pediatric practice, providing effective bacterial infection management in the earliest and most vulnerable stages of childhood.
