Acelex Suspension 125 mg/5 ml contains Cephalexin, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. This oral suspension formulation is particularly suitable for pediatric patients and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. Cephalexin is well known for its broad antibacterial coverage against common Gram-positive and some Gram-negative organisms, making it a reliable choice for routine community-acquired infections.

Acelex Suspension is formulated to ensure accurate dosing, good palatability, and effective absorption. When used as prescribed, it helps control infection, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications associated with untreated bacterial diseases.

Acelex Suspension is commonly prescribed in children due to its safety profile and effectiveness, but it is also suitable for adults when suspension dosing is preferred.

Mechanism of Action

Cephalexin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins within the bacterial cell wall, interfering with the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential structural component of the bacterial cell wall. This results in weakening of the cell wall and eventual bacterial cell death.

Cephalexin is bactericidal in nature and is particularly effective against Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species, as well as certain Gram-negative organisms such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Dosage and Administration

Acelex Suspension 125 mg/5 ml should be taken orally as prescribed by a healthcare professional. The dosage depends on the patient’s age, body weight, severity of infection, and renal function.

Before use, the suspension should be reconstituted according to the instructions provided and shaken well before each dose to ensure uniform distribution of the medicine. The full prescribed course should be completed, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent recurrence and antibiotic resistance.

Precautions and Warnings

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins.

• Use with caution in patients with a history of penicillin allergy, as cross-reactivity may occur.

• Prolonged use may lead to overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms.

• Dose adjustment may be required in patients with renal impairment.
