Cefalexin is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The following have been shown to be sensitive to cefalexin in vitro: Staphylococcus spp (including penicillin-resistant strains), Streptococcus spp, Corynebacterium spp, Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.
When susceptible organisms are present, CephorumŪ Tablets 250 mg are indicated for the treatment of bacterial skin infections and urinary-tract infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
The recommended dose rate is 15 mg/kg bodyweight twice daily. In severe or acute conditions the dose may be safely doubled or given at more frequent intervals.
