Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension

Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension is a prescription antibiotic containing cefalexin 125 mg in each bottle, supplied as an oral suspension for children and adults who need a liquid form. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat susceptible bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension may be prescribed for infections of the throat, skin, ears, urinary tract, and certain respiratory infections when a doctor decides cefalexin is appropriate.

How it works: Cefalexin works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and helps stop them from growing. In suspension form, Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension allows the antibiotic to be measured and swallowed easily, especially for patients who cannot take tablets.

The Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension is the lower-strength sibling of Phexin 250 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension, which can make it easier to tailor dosing for younger patients or people who need smaller, more precise amounts. This 125 mg suspension is useful when a prescriber wants a liquid cefalexin option that can be adjusted by volume rather than using a higher-strength product.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Ear infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Some respiratory tract infections

• Shake the suspension well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the dose exactly with an oral syringe or measuring spoon; do not use a kitchen spoon.
• Take Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension exactly as prescribed, at evenly spaced times if it is taken more than once daily.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve sooner.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each bottle of Phexin 125 mg Redisyp Oral Suspension provides cefalexin 125 mg in liquid form, so the actual dose depends on how much suspension your doctor prescribes. It is often taken 2 to 4 times a day, but the exact schedule and the maximum daily amount are determined by the prescriber based on the infection, age, and kidney function. Do not change the dose or timing on your own, because this strength is meant to be matched carefully to the patient’s needs.

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