Considerations for people taking Keflex include the following:
Keflex comes as a capsule or oral suspension (liquid). Do not break, chew, or crush the Keflex capsules.
Keflex should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your system.
Keflex can be taken with or without food. If it upsets your stomach, taking your Keflex dosage with food may help.
Drink a full glass of water with each dose.
For Keflex to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
Make sure that you complete your entire prescription of Keflex, even if you start feeling better. This will ensure that the infection is completely treated.
Never take outdated Keflex. Taking any outdated medication may cause serious problems because the intended effects often change after the medicine expires.
If you are unsure about anything related to Keflex or your Keflex dosage, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop taking Keflex without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
