Davlexin

Product Overview

Davlexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic medication containing Cephalexin as its active ingredient. Available in capsule form for oral use, it effectively combats bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial growth. This prescription medication is widely used to treat infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria.

Uses

Davlexin is prescribed for treating multiple bacterial infections including:
– Respiratory tract infections
– Skin and soft tissue infections

It demonstrates efficacy against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by preventing bacterial proliferation, thereby resolving infection symptoms.

Administration Instructions

Take Davlexin capsules orally with water, following your healthcare provider’s directions regarding food intake. Swallow capsules whole – do not chew or crush. Complete the entire prescribed course even if symptoms improve prematurely. Incomplete treatment may contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Mechanism of Action

Cephalexin, Davlexin’s active component, exerts its antibacterial effect by:
1. Binding to specific bacterial cell wall proteins
2. Disrupting cross-link formation in cell wall synthesis
3. Compromising structural integrity
4. Leading to bacterial cell death

This action enhances the body’s ability to eliminate the infection.
