What types of infections is this antibiotic used for? How long & at what dosages per day does one take it? And, is it in any way related to penicilin-based antibiotic drugs? ## Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as pneumonia and bone, ear, skin, and urinary tract infections. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. The dosage guidelines for this medication state the following: It is usually taken every 6 hours (four times a day) or every 12 hours (twice a day) for 7-10 days. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.

My Rottweiler is 4 months ... Can I give him purbac as he needs antibiotics? He has pavro virus. And I don't have financials to take him to vet again... He is very weak, will not eat or drink, vomits and watery stool. So just want to know will it be safe to give him purbac? ## Sorry to hear that your dog is sick :( Unfortunately, if he is sick with a viral infection, Purbac and other antibiotics will not help, as those only treat bacteria and do not kill viruses. Truthfully it would be best to get a proper diagnosis from a veterinarian so that the right treatment may be prescribed. It sounds like dehydration is a concern at this stage if he is not keeping down water and is having diarrhea.

Can I take these for a sore throat infection and if so how many tablets per day? ## Well, since what you typed doesn't actually stand for anything, I believe you've confused it, I'm assuming what you're referring to is Penicillin V with Potassium? If so, it is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections. However, the length of treatment and dosing depends on the type and severity of infection being treated and this site is not medical professionals to make a guess at that. Not all sore throats are caused by infections and using these if it isn't creates problems. Have you seen a doctor for this? ## Pota-Vi-Kin (active ingredient Penicillin V) is used to treat mild to moderately severe infections due to penicillin G-sensitive microorganisms.
