A member asked:
I am taking cephalexin 500mg capsules can i open them and take it like that it is for a tooth infection and can i take it with pineapple juice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: You may open the capsule. If swallowing the capsule is an issue, your doctor could prescribe a suspension. It is better to avoid fruit juice, especially grapefruit, as some of these interfere with metabolism of drug. Visit this site for info: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682733.html
