User Reviews for Keflex

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: VERY effective antibiotic on two (2) separate events for oral abcess! Usually a straight Penicillin customer, I am & Doc prefers Amoxicillin (not efficacious for me). Compromise medicine: Keflex is the most foul-smelling thing I ever wanted to swallow because it works... so hold your breath!

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Basically the only medication that works for me to combat the infections that arise from Darier's disease (a genetic skin disease).

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: I had an abscess on my upper gum resulting from terrible dentist work. I had also been prescribed amoxicillin 500mg, however after a week of taking amoxicillin the pain/swelling did not go away it got noticeably worse. However after taking my first full dose of Keflex swelling reduced and gradually faded out by the time my dosage was complete. Would highly recommend Keflex.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Infected Sebaceous Cyst: Needed to take three regimens of Keflex. Used Floragen 3 as a probiotic.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: I was prescribed Keflex (Cephalexin) after having surgery to prevent infection, and wanted to add to the list of side effects. They do not mention acid reflux, which I had every time I took the capsule (4 times a day, for 10 days). Also women need to take a probiotic while on this medication as it decreases natural flora and you can get yeast infection. I learned this the hard way by not eating enough yogurt while on this medication and not taking any probiotics. Just wanted to give a heads up and hopefully spare many women this highly uncomfortable experience.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: I've been prescribed this antibiotic many times. I just realized that with my current course for a skin infection that I sweat profusely when I take this. The last time I had episodes of profuse sweating was the last time I was on this! I don't see it listed anywhere as a side effect, but it seems to happen to me every time I take it.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: I have used this medicine for years for many different conditions including bronchitis, boils, bladder infection, sinusitis among a few others. The problem though, has become since I have used it so many times, I am almost resistant to it and need a larger dose or longer dosing schedule to clear up a more severe case of the ailment. When it works, it works well.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bone infection: Very hard to manage diarrhea while taking the antibiotic. Very tired and stomach was distended.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Works very well for treating the cellulitis I got from an insect bite. But don't drink alcohol while you are on this medication. I had half a beer and started feeling really nauseous, had a migraine and my stomach hurt.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection: Unfortunately, did not help 4 year old with chest infection.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Quickly cleared up cellulitis that was painful and itchy on the crease of my leg. 7 days twice daily 500 mg.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Acne: This was and continues to be the best, long term option for me. I had very little side effects ... slight headache at first but it went away after a few days.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: I was prescribed Keflex for an infection that occurred after root canal went bad. Evidently the previous dentist had not been able to successfully remove all of the nerve and pulp and over time an infection resulted. Keflex was well tolerated by me and helped to reduce the swelling within the gum until I was able to have a root canal retreatment in order to remove the rest of the nerve and pulp. The rating that I provided is due to the fact that this medication required 4 doses daily which I felt there must have been some other medication available that required less commitment. Still, it did work and I would take it again if prescribed.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Acne: After taking doxycycline for a while, my body became resistant to it, so my dermatologist switched me to Keflex for acne. I think I had at least five bowel movements the first day. Eventually, my digestive system became somewhat regular, but then I started getting headaches on a regular basis. It cleared up my acne somewhat, but it was definitely not worth all the side effects.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bladder Infection: It helped in getting rid of my bladder infection but I was out in the sun for half the day doing some work outside, and I got horribly burnt and a bad sun rash. So just try to avoid the sun while on this medication.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: I have suffered with ulcers on my ankles (poor circulation) for years. Every once in awhile one if not both will get infected. Legs swell and skin turns purple as well as becoming very sensitive. The ulcers feel as though hot needles are being shoved into them. Keflex always knocks out the infection within a few days.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Otitis Media: I'm allergic to lots of medicines but this works.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection: Horrible, did not work at all on my husband's bronchitis and his bronchitis turned into pneumonia.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: I get recurring cases of impetigo and Keflex is always my go-to drug. Keflex clears up the infection quickly, and I've never experienced any side-effects, even if I take it on an empty stomach. Highly recommended!

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bacterial Infection: The best drug out there if you have an external yeast infection.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Taking this 4x a day for my second bout with Cellulitis. Also taking Ultram for pain.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: Along with the use of Itchamol ointment this clears boils up very quickly.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Bladder Infection: I usually never have side effects from antibiotics, but I had moderate dizziness and nausea. The nausea is not bad enough to send me to bed all day, but it does interfere with my daily schedule and leaves me extremely worn out and fatigued. It is frustrating. I have to take it four times a day for ten days.

Keflex (cephalexin) for Skin Infection: It always helps me out. I just had plastic surgery and it helped out a great deal.
