Product Details

Ceporex Capsules 250mg contain Cephalexin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. Cephalexin works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls, effectively killing sensitive bacteria and preventing their growth. This makes Ceporex highly effective in treating infections caused by susceptible organisms.

Purposes

Ceporex Capsules 250mg are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and otitis media. This medication is particularly effective against bacteria that are sensitive to Cephalexin and is a go-to antibiotic for many common infections.

Warnings

• Prolonged use of Capsules 250mg may lead to the overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, so it is important to use the medication as prescribed and monitor for signs of superinfection.
• Ceporex should be used with caution in individuals with impaired renal function, as the drug is primarily excreted through the kidneys. A lower dosage may be necessary in such cases.
• Cephalexin is excreted in low concentrations in breast milk. Nursing mothers should use Ceporex cautiously and under medical supervision.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Ceporex Capsules 250mg include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. In rare cases, more serious reactions may occur, including skin rashes, dizziness, fatigue, and allergic reactions like angioedema and urticaria. Very rarely, severe conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis can develop.

Cautions

Patients allergic to penicillin should exercise caution when using Capsules 250mg due to the potential for cross-allergenicity between cephalosporins and penicillins. If any signs of an allergic reaction occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider. Always store the medication at room temperature and keep it away from direct light and heat.
