An Overview of Keflex Uses

Content: Respiratory tract infection ( pneumonia, bronchitis, strep throat, or tonsillitis)
Bone infection (osteomyelitis)
Middle ear infection (otitis media)
Sinus infection ( sinusitis)
Urinary tract infection ( UTI)
Irritation of the prostate ( prostatitis)
Skin infection ( cellulitis, folliculitis, or impetigo ). Keflex may also be substituted in place of penicillin to treat common infections in people who are allergic to that particular drug. It should be noted, however, that there is a small chance that people who are allergic to penicillin will also be allergic to Keflex or to other cephalosporins. Keflex is not effective against any infection caused by a virus, such as the flu, stomach flu, or common cold. Bacterial Endocarditis
Endocarditis occurs when the inner lining of the heart (the endocardium) develops inflammation, usually from an infection. Bacterial endocarditis occurs when bacteria are responsible for causing the inflammation. Endocarditis can occur after a number of procedures, such as dental procedures. Keflex may help prevent this by curbing the growth of bacteria and reducing inflammation.
