Follow your doctor's guidance for the use of Cefalexin, which is available in different forms, including tablets and liquid solutions While it can be taken with or without food, it's recommended to take this medicine at a consistent time for better results.

Common side effects of Cefalexin may include rash, diarrhea, urticaria, and angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of the skin).

Individuals with known allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics or penicillin should avoid using Cefalexin, as cross reactivity may occur, leading to allergic reactions ranging from mild rashes to severe, life threatening anaphylaxis.
