What is Ceff (Cephalexin Monohydrate) used for?

Ceff (Cephalexin Monohydrate) is an oral cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat patients who are suffering from a wide variety of bacterial infections. The medication operates by inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria cells making it easier for the immune system to control or eliminate the infection. This makes it useful for treating infections of the middle ear, urinary tract, respiratory tract, bones, joints, skin, soft tissue, or genitals. Your physician may also prescribe the medication for other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Ceff (Cephalexin Monohydrate)?

Ceff (Cephalexin Monohydrate) should always be used according to your physician's instructions to get the most effective results from treatment. The normal regimen is one tablet taken two to three times each day for a period of medication lasting one or two weeks, but your individual dosage will be based on the condition being treated, your current health, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, but a snack or meal is recommended before use if you get an upset stomach. Do not stop taking the medication prior to being instructed to do so, even if your symptoms seem to be gone, as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Never change the form of the tablets prior to use by splitting or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your physician any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct administration.
