Clx 250 mg Capsule

Clx 250 mg Capsule is an antibiotic capsule that contains cefalexin 250 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Clx 250 mg Capsule may be prescribed for infections of the skin, throat, ear, respiratory tract, or urinary tract when bacteria are suspected or confirmed. The pack contains 10 capsules in strip/box form from Psychotropics India Limited.

How it works: Cefalexin works by stopping bacteria from building strong cell walls, which causes the bacteria to break down and die. As a capsule, Clx 250 mg Capsule is swallowed and absorbed so the medicine can travel through the body to help fight the infection.

Clx 250 mg Capsule is the lower-strength capsule in this product, which can be helpful when a doctor wants a smaller cefalexin dose or a more flexible dosing schedule. Compared with higher-strength options, the 250 mg capsule may suit people who need dose adjustment based on age, weight, kidney function, or the type and severity of infection. Your clinician chooses this strength to match the exact dose needed rather than giving more medicine than necessary.

• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Throat infections caused by bacteria
• Ear infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Respiratory tract infections
• Bone infections in some cases

• Swallow Clx 250 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at evenly spaced times if more than once daily.
• It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not open, crush, or chew the capsule unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before it is done.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.

Each Clx 250 mg Capsule provides 250 mg of cefalexin. The number of capsules you take and how often you take them depends on the infection being treated and your doctor’s instructions; dosing may be several times a day, and the total daily amount is set by the prescriber. Do not change the dose on your own, and do not exceed the amount your doctor has prescribed for this 250 mg strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
