Hello, Donna! How are you?

It isn't that they can't be taken together, it's just that the Cephalexin may increase the effect of the Probenicid, so it must be prescribed cautiously. The body aches can happen with most antibiotics and is usually due to a combination of taking them and your body fighting the infection.

The other side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if you are concerned about taking both, then please consult your doctor, to be sure.

Is there anything else I can help with?
