Cephalexin is the first of the first generation cephalosporins. This antibiotic contains beta lactam and dihydrothiazide. Cephalexin is used to treat several susceptible bacterial infections through inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Cephalexin was approved by the FDA on 4 January 1971.
Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cephalosporins contain a beta lactam and dihydrothiazide. Unlike penicillins, cephalosporins are more resistant to the action of beta lactamase. Cephalexin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading breakdown and eventually cell death.
