Cephalexin monohydrate

Description:
Cephalexin monohydrate is a semisynthetic antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Its chemical formula is C16H17N3O4S·H2O, indicating that it is a monohydrate form, which means it contains one molecule of water per molecule of cephalexin. This compound exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against various gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for treating infections such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. Cephalexin is typically administered orally and is well-absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by its stability in acidic environments, which enhances its bioavailability. The substance is generally considered safe, with common side effects including gastrointestinal disturbances and allergic reactions. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. As with all antibiotics, appropriate use is crucial to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
