Ceporex Tablet Uses

Ceporex is an antibiotic medication composed of Cephalexin. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, such as ENT infections, skin and soft tissue infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, bone and joint infections, and urinary tract infections.

Cephalexin belongs to the class of drugs known as cephalosporins. It works by stopping the growth and spread of bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics like Ceporex should not be used to treat viral infections like cold and flu, as they are not effective against them and can even give rise to future, severe bacterial infections that are resistant to antibiotics.
