Question 2

what is the treatment for keflex overdose?

Accepted Answer

Time: You cannot really overdose on an antibiotic, but if you take too much of one of them, then time is all it should take to clear it naturally.

Question 3

is dizziness a side effect of keflex 500mg and is it danger sign thank you also blurred vision?

Accepted Answer

: No. Dizziness and blurred vision may be a consequence of the underlying infection or, more likely, anxiety but almost never related to Keflex

Question 4

is taking rocephin (ceftriaxone) and keflex together ok, or will that overdose you on antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Unnecessary: They are both similar cephalosporin antibiotics, and do not have much of an additive effect.  One or the other should be enough.

Question 5

i have cellulitis on my inner thigh, been on keflex for 24 hrs. the lymph node in my groin became enlarged and tender. is this a bad sign?

Accepted Answer

Expected: Lymph nodes are check points that limit spread of infection, will become less painful and shrink in size later when infection is eradicated, keep taking the antibiotic as prescribed, if no improvement call/see your doctor, good luck

Question 6

can i take ibruprofen with keflex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I see why not. Make sure you take a probiotic supplement while taking Keflex to avoid diarrhea and bacterial overgrowth from the antibiotic killing your gut flora.

Question 7

can keflex and azo be taken together?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: If you have a urinary tract infection it is common to take Azo for symptoms until the infection responds to an antibiotic such as keflex.

Question 8

can i smoke weed while taking keflex 500mg?

Accepted Answer

: I would not do both at exactly the same time if that is what you mean. Go to drugs.com and enter the EXACT med(s) you are taking including weed to see if there is an interaction.  Some drugs/genes will speed up metabolism of some drugs and slow down others. Ain’t nature/medicine interesting?

Question 9

is keflex 500mg for a 3 year old to strong?

Accepted Answer

Is it /dose or /day?: depends on the diagnosis, patient's weight and frequency, at any rate, not a high dose

Question 10

i'm allergic to penicillin, can i take keflex?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Penicillins (like amoxil) & cephalosporins (like keflex) are both beta-lactam antibiotics named because of their ringed chemical structure. Allergy to penicillins is sometimes directed against this ring, and an allergic reaction may also occur if a similar antibiotic is taken. It is estimated that about 10% of penicillin-allergic patients are also allergic to cephalosporins like keflex.
