Overview

Cephadex 500mg capsule is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections such as infections of lungs, respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and pneumonia. It contains cephalexin as its active component that works by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis of bacteria. The absence of cell walls leads to the death of bacteria and cure the infection.
