A member asked:
Will keflex aggravate an existing stomach ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: But not necessarily likely. If you have a stomach ulcer this needs careful evaluation by a GI doctor because depending upon its cause this may be a prelude to cancer. When an ulcer is present, drugs that would be otherwise benign may irritate the open tissues and exacerbate the pain.
