When prescribing cephalexin, consider using the capsule formulation instead of tablets when clinically appropriate.
Cephalexin capsules are available in the same strengths and can be prescribed at the same dosing frequency as tablets. In addition, capsules generally have a lower cost than tablet formulation, which may help reduce medication expenses for your patients.
Before prescribing, review your patient's individual needs and preferences to determine the most appropriate formulation.
