Cephalexin is an antibiotic used to treat respiratory tract infections caused by streptococcus pneumoniae, skin infections caused by streptococci, and bone and GU infections caused by other bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and causing cell death. Common side effects include diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and joint pain. Nurses should monitor for allergic reactions and ensure patients take the medication as prescribed to treat the intended infection and prevent antibiotic resistance.
