Drug Interactions With Keflex (Cont.)

 
Metformin
If metformin and Keflex are combined, your body may metabolize the drugs differently than intended, which can significantly increase the amount of metformin in your system. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress more closely or adjust your dosage accordingly, depending on your particular situation.
 
Typhoid Vaccine
If you are taking Keflex and receive a live, attenuated typhoid vaccine, the vaccine may lose some if its effectiveness. This, in turn, could leave you unprotected against typhoid.
