Patient's question:
Today, my former life gave me a bottle of cephradine tablets. However, she neither asked if I had a penicillin allergy nor inquired about my stomach problems. At the time, I was unaware and didn't ask. After coming home, I noticed on the instructions that people allergic to cephalosporins and penicillin should not take it. I do not have a penicillin allergy, as I have previously taken medications like amoxicillin. However, I don't know about cephalosporins, and I do have stomach issues. I hope everyone can help me?Doctor's answer:
The main side effect of cephalexin capsules may cause allergic reactions, while other side effects are generally rare. If you have a stomach condition, it is recommended to take the medication within half an hour after a meal. Cephalexin capsules can be taken, so please do not worry too much. Have you had an endoscopy for your stomach pain? What were the results? In addition, during the treatment of stomach conditions, besides immediate treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of their stomach condition.
