Sporidex 500mg (10 Capsules)
Sporidex is a trusted brand of Cefalexin (also spelled Cephalexin), a powerful first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and is widely prescribed in Nigeria to treat a variety of bacterial infections.
What is Sporidex used for?
Sporidex works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause infections in different parts of the body. It is commonly used for:
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Effective for managing discomfort and bacteria in the urinary system.
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Helps clear up bacterial skin conditions.
- Respiratory Infections: Used for throat infections (pharyngitis), bronchitis, and tonsillitis.
- Ear Infections: Often prescribed for otitis media.
- Dental Infections: Sometimes used by dentists for "tooth infection" or after dental procedures.
How to take Sporidex
For the best results, follow your doctor's prescription strictly. Sporidex capsules are usually taken orally with or without food. However, taking it with food can help if you experience a sensitive stomach. It is crucial to complete the full course of the antibiotic, even if you start feeling better, to ensure the infection is completely cleared.
