Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet

Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains cefalexin 750 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet may be prescribed for skin, throat, ear, respiratory, urinary, or other susceptible bacterial infections when a doctor decides this higher-strength tablet is appropriate. Because it is a 750 mg tablet, it is a higher-strength option that should be used exactly as directed.

How it works: Cefalexin works by stopping bacteria from building a proper cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and causes them to die. In Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help clear the bacterial infection from inside.

Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet is the higher-strength sibling of Phexin BD 375 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants fewer tablets per dose or a larger amount of cefalexin per dose. This does not mean it works faster; it still needs the right dosing schedule and course length to work well. Doctors may choose this tablet for patients who need a stronger tablet strength and can swallow tablets comfortably.

Each Phexin BD 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of cefalexin per tablet, which is a relatively high tablet strength compared with 375 mg tablets. The dose and how often you take it may vary depending on the infection, your kidney function, and your medical history; in some people it may be taken 2 to 4 times daily, but only your doctor should decide the exact schedule and maximum daily amount.

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