Fex 750 mg Tablet

Fex 750 mg Tablet is an antibiotic tablet that contains 750 mg of cefalexin in each tablet. Cefalexin belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Fex 750 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the skin, respiratory tract, ears, bones, and urinary tract when a doctor determines this strength is appropriate.

How it works: Cefalexin works by blocking bacteria from building a strong cell wall, which causes the bacteria to break apart and die. In tablet form, Fex 750 mg Tablet delivers a measured oral dose that is absorbed in the digestive tract and then carried through the body to help clear susceptible bacterial infections.

Fex 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength cefalexin tablet, so it is suited for patients who need a larger single dose and who can swallow tablets safely. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this product fits into a standard cefalexin regimen that your doctor may choose based on the type and severity of the infection, kidney function, and how often doses need to be taken.

• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Throat and respiratory tract infections
• Ear infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Bone infections

• Swallow Fex 750 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed to keep the antibiotic level steady in your body.
• You may take Fex 750 mg Tablet with or without food; taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not skip doses, and finish the full course even if you start feeling better.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a pharmacist or doctor confirms the tablet can be altered.

Each Fex 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of cefalexin per tablet. Depending on the infection and your medical history, it may be taken 1 to 4 times daily, and your doctor decides the exact schedule and duration. The maximum daily amount must be set by the prescriber, especially because this is a higher-strength tablet and kidney function can affect dosing.

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