Are there antibiotics that should be avoided in patients allergic to cephalexin?

Cephalexin: If you are allergic to cephalexin, you may be allergic to all cephalosporin and penicillin group of medications. But only sure way of knowing is to try it under supervision of a doctor. It also important to know what type of reaction you had with cephalexin.
