Lixen Pelatab

Product Overview

Lixen pelatab is a veterinary medication containing the active ingredient Cephalexin 300 mg. This tablet formulation is specifically designed for use in animals, providing a convenient and effective treatment option for bacterial infections in pets. Lixen pelatab is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to address various bacterial infections in dogs and cats, offering targeted therapy to combat harmful bacteria and promote healing.

Uses

Lixen pelatab is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs and cats, including skin infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and soft tissue infections. Cephalexin, the active ingredient in Lixen pelatab, belongs to the class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins, which work by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria. This medication is commonly used in veterinary practice to provide effective and reliable treatment for a wide range of bacterial infections in pets.

How to Use

Administer Lixen pelatab tablets orally to your pet as directed by your veterinarian. The tablets can be given with or without food, although giving them with a meal may help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment carefully to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if your pet’s symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

How it Works

Cephalexin, the active ingredient in Lixen pelatab, works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the disruption of the bacterial cell structure and ultimately causing bacterial cell death. This mechanism of action makes cephalexin effective against a wide range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. By targeting and eliminating the underlying bacterial infection, Lixen pelatab helps alleviate symptoms and promote healing in pets.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Lixen pelatab tablets varies depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the weight and condition of the animal being treated. Your veterinarian will determine the appropriate dosage regimen for your pet based on these factors. Generally, the recommended dosage for dogs and cats is 10-15 mg/kg of body weight, administered once or twice daily. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding dosage and administration to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Lixen pelatab may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.

Warnings

Lixen pelatab should not be used in pets with a known hypersensitivity to cephalexin or other cephalosporin antibiotics.
