Cephalexin Capsules (Dog)

Cephalexin is a prescription oral antibiotic commonly used in dogs to treat bacterial infections of the skin, ears, urinary tract, respiratory system, and bones. It belongs to the cephalosporin class and works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall formation, leading to bacterial death. Cephalexin is often prescribed for conditions such as pyoderma, abscesses, and wound infections. It is typically given one to two times daily, with or without food, and is generally well tolerated when used as directed.
