Spornam 250 mg Capsule

Spornam 250 mg Capsule is an antibiotic capsule that contains 250 mg of cefalexin in each capsule. Cefalexin belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Doctors may prescribe Spornam 250 mg Capsule for infections affecting the skin, throat, ears, respiratory tract, or urinary tract when cefalexin is an appropriate choice. The capsule form makes it a practical oral option for patients who can swallow capsules and need an exact 250 mg dose.

How it works: Cefalexin works by stopping bacteria from building the protective cell wall they need to survive and multiply. In capsule form, Spornam 250 mg Capsule delivers this antibiotic through the digestive tract so it can reach the bloodstream and help clear susceptible bacterial infections.

Spornam 250 mg Capsule is the 250 mg strength of cefalexin, so it is a standard oral dose that can fit many routine treatment plans. Because this is the only strength available in this brand range, it is not a higher- or lower-strength comparison product; your doctor may choose it when they want a precise cefalexin capsule dose that can be taken several times per day as needed for the infection being treated.

• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Strep throat and tonsillitis
• Ear infections
• Respiratory tract infections
• Urinary tract infections

• Swallow Spornam 250 mg Capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it.
• Take it at evenly spaced times if your doctor prescribes more than one dose per day.
• It can be taken with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your prescriber tells you to stop.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each Spornam 250 mg Capsule provides 250 mg of cefalexin per capsule. The number of capsules per dose and how often you take them depends on the infection, your age, kidney function, and your doctor’s instructions; in many cases cefalexin is taken multiple times a day, and your prescriber sets the maximum daily amount for you.

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