Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Patients should take Keflex exactly as their doctor has prescribed. They should finish their course of antibiotics, even if they start to feel better. Their doctor or pharmacist can assist with any questions or concerns they may have.
Age and the type of infection being treated determine each patient's dose. Patients generally take Keflex for 7 to 14 days depending on the type of infection and its severity. Patients with kidney problems may need a lower dose.
The active ingredient in Keflex is cephalexin, a cephalosporin.
Patients with an allergy to Keflex or to any of the other antibiotics in its class should avoid its use.
Keflex side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and stomach pain. However, other side effects can occur, so patients should contact their doctor if they experience bothersome or persistent side effects.
