RX ONLY
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the

drugs, cephalexin capsules

DESCRIPTION
Cephalexin, USP is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic intended
for oral administration. It is 7-(D-
α-amino-α-phenylacetamido)-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid
monohydrate. Cephalexin has the
molecular formula C
H N O S•H O and the molecular weight is 365.41.
Cephalexin has the following structural formula:
The nucleus of cephalexin is related to that of other cephalosporin
antibiotics. The compound is a
zwitterion; i.e., the molecule contains both a basic and an acidic
group. The isoelectric point of
cephalexin in water is approximately 4.5 to 5.
The crystalline form of cephalexin which is available is a
monohydrate. It is a white crystalline solid
having a bitter taste. Solubility in water is low at room temperature;
1 or 2 mg/mL may be dissolved
readily, but higher concentrations are obtained with increasing
difficulty.
The cephalosporins differ from penicillins in the structure of the
bicyclic ring system. Cephalexin has a
_D_-phenylglycyl group as substituent at the 7-amino position and an
unsubstituted methyl group at the 3-
position.
Each capsule for oral administration, contains cephalexin monohydrate
equivalent to 250 mg (720 µmol)
or 500 mg (1,439 µmol) of cephalexin.
In addition, each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients:
D&C Yellow No. 10, edible
printing ink with black iron oxide, FD&C Green No. 3, FD&C Yellow No.
6, gelatin, lactose
monohydrate, magnesium stearate and titanium dioxide.
Also, the 500 mg strength capsule contains FD&C Blue No.1.
