Hello, Bob! How are you?

The FDA classifies Cephalexin as an antibiotic that's used to treat various bacterial infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, they do lose effectiveness once expired and you should just dispose of them. Taking them, when they aren't as effective, could create the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Is there anything else I can help with?
