Overview
Cefalexin Injection 10% is a sterile broad-spectrum antibiotic formulation intended for veterinary use. Each milliliter contains 100 mg of Cefalexin Monohydrate, a first-generation cephalosporin with proven efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria and certain Gram-negative strains.
It is commonly used in cattle, pigs, and sheep for the treatment of respiratory, urinary, and soft tissue infections. Its high safety margin and stable aqueous formulation make it ideal for routine therapeutic use in veterinary practice.
Product Information
Cefalexin Injection 10% is formulated as a sterile aqueous preparation containing 100 mg/mL Cefalexin Monohydrate. It is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic designed for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock, particularly those caused by Gram-positive cocci and selected Gram-negative bacteria.
The formulation ensures rapid absorption, stable concentration in blood, and reliable antibacterial activity. It is well tolerated, with low irritation at the injection site and minimal adverse reactions when administered according to veterinary guidance.
Pharmacological Action
Cefalexin acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), resulting in cell lysis and death. It shows high efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., and Escherichia coli strains sensitive to β-lactam antibiotics.
