Ospexin: First generation cephalexin

Ospexin, also known by the international name Cephalexin, is an antibiotic from the group of first-generation cephalosporins. It is produced by Biochemi GmbH in Austria and is widely used to treat various infections.

Cephalosporins are one of the main groups of antibiotics used in medicine. They have a bactericidal effect and are effective in fighting bacterial infections. Ospexin is a first generation cephalosporin, which means it has a broad spectrum of activity and is effective against many different types of bacteria.

Ospexin is available in various dosage forms such as capsules, film-coated tablets and granules for oral solution. Various dosages allow you to choose the optimal form and amount of the drug depending on the individual needs of the patient.

The main active ingredient of Ospexin is cephalexin. It is effective in treating infections of various organs and systems, such as the respiratory system, genitourinary system, skin and soft tissues, as well as bones and joints. Ospexin is used to treat mild to moderate infections.

Despite its effectiveness, Ospexin has some contraindications and side effects. It is not recommended for patients who have hypersensitivity to other beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and other cephalosporins. The use of Ospexin during lactation is also not recommended. During pregnancy, it can be used only if the expected effect of therapy outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Possible side effects when using Ospexin may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, increased activity of certain enzymes in the blood, pseudomembranous colitis, hepatitis, headaches, dizziness and weakness. Allergic reactions such as itching, skin rash, urticaria, angioedema and anaphylactic shock are also possible.

Before using Ospexin, you need to pay attention to possible interactions with other drugs. It may enhance the effect of indirect anticoagulants, and also increase the risk of kidney damage when used simultaneously with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, it is important to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before starting treatment with Ospexin.

Overall, Ospexin is an effective antibiotic for treating various bacterial infections. However, like any other drug, it should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor and as recommended. If you have questions or concerns about your medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
