Before you use Ancef it has been recommended to speak to your doctor regarding Cephalexcin.

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to cefazolin, any type of penicillin, or to other cephalosporin antibiotics, such as:

Cefaclor (Raniclor); Cefadroxil (Duricef); Cefdinir (Omnicef); Cefditoren (Spectracef); Cefpodoxime (Vantin); Cefprozil (Cefzil); Ceftibuten (Cedax); Cefuroxime (Ceftin); Cephalexin (Keflex); or Cephradine (Velosef).
