Cephalexin - is this a drug that can be abused by teens?

Answers by TheMediTary.Com - Last updated: 13-Jul-2023

No, cephalexin is not something that can be abused by teens. It is in a group of drugs called cephalosporins antibiotics, and is used to fight bacteria in the body.

It works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall formation, causing it to rupture, and killing the bacteria.

Cephalexin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, including upper respiratory infections, ear infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.
