Standard Keflex (cephalexin) dosage for uncomplicated UTIs typically ranges from 250mg to 500mg, administered orally every 6 hours for 7-14 days. Your doctor will determine the precise dosage and duration based on your individual needs and the severity of your infection.
Dosage adjustments are common. Factors like your age, kidney function, and the specific type of bacteria causing the infection influence the prescribed amount. Children often receive lower doses adjusted by weight. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully; never alter your medication regimen without consulting them.
Important note: This information is for guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice. Keflex may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Report any allergic reactions or unusual side effects immediately.
