What is cefalexina bromhexina?

Cefalexina bromhexina is a combination antibiotic drug that contains cephalexin and bromhexine. Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while bromhexine is a mucolytic agent used to treat cough and respiratory disorders.

This combination medication is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as skin and soft tissue infections. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections and reducing the thickness of mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.

Cefalexina bromhexina comes in tablet form and is usually taken two to four times a day depending on the severity of the infection. It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by the healthcare provider to ensure that the infection is fully treated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

Like all medications, cefalexina bromhexina may cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and allergic reactions. Individuals with a history of allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics should not take this medication. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
