As a result bacterial destructionoccurs. Cephalexin is not inactivated by β-lactamases produced by the Gram positive bacteria and which normallyaffect penicillins.After oral administration, Cephalexin is absorbed through the intestinal barrier. The plasma peak is observed veryquickly (T max. 1.5). Therapeutic skin levels are obtained within 2 hours.Cephalexin is eliminated as an active form, mainly by the urinary route (85%).Cephalexin is effective against a wide range of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria including: Staphylococci,Streptococcus spp., Pneumococci, E. Coli, Klebslella spp, and Salmonella spp. Uses Treatment of the following infections caused by bacteria sensitive to cephalexin:Infections of the urinary tract in cats and dogs (such as nephritis and cystitis).Cutaneous infections (pyoderma) in dogs, including skin fold pyoderma impetigo, folliculitis, furunculosis and cellulitis.Dosage and administration15 mg Cephalexin per kg bodyweight twice daily (equivalent to 30 mg per kg bodyweight per day):for a duration of 14 days in cases of urinary tract infection;at least 15 days in cases of superficial pyoderma;at least 28 days in cases of deep pyoderma.To achieve this dosage, administer Cats and dogsone tablet of Rilexine 75 per 5 kg bodyweightDogs onlyone tablet of Rilexine 300 per 20 kg bodyweightone tablet of Rilexine 600 per 40 kg bodyweightRilexine tablets are well accepted by cats and dogs but may be crushed or added to food if necessary.In severe or acute conditions the dose may be safely doubled.
