Overview

Pharmaniaga Cephalexin Oral Suspension 125mg/5ml is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Cephalexin 125mg/5ml (as cephalexin monohydrate). It is supplied as an oral suspension and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Pharmaniaga Cephalexin Oral Suspension 125mg/5ml is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Shake Pharmaniaga Cephalexin Oral Suspension 125mg/5ml well before every use to ensure the medicine is evenly mixed. It can be taken with or without food, but giving it with food may help reduce stomach upset in some children. Use only the measuring device supplied with the bottle, and give doses at evenly spaced intervals as advised by the doctor or pharmacist.

Dosage

The dose of Pharmaniaga Cephalexin Oral Suspension 125mg/5ml is individualised by the doctor based on body weight, age, and the type and severity of infection. The prescribed volume should be measured accurately using the oral syringe or measuring cup provided, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve before the course is finished.

Shelf Life

Use this product before the expiry date stated on the packaging. Once reconstituted, the suspension should be used within the period advised by the dispensing pharmacist (typically up to 14 days) and any unused portion after that should be discarded.

Storage Instructions

Before reconstitution, store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. After reconstitution, store the suspension in a refrigerator (2-8°C), do not freeze, and shake well before each dose.

Drug / Food Interactions

Quick Tips
