Pfarmacia Formulexin 300 & 600 MG Tablets are veterinary antibiotic tablets containing Cephalexin IP 300 mg or 600 mg, formulated for use in dogs and other companion animals when prescribed by a qualified veterinarian.
Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the management of susceptible bacterial infections. Formulexin is available in two strengths, providing flexibility for veterinary-prescribed dosing based on the animal's body weight and clinical condition.
It may be prescribed for susceptible bacterial infections involving the skin and soft tissues, wounds, abscesses and urinary tract, among other infections where cephalexin is considered appropriate.
PetsLifestyle recommends using Formulexin only under veterinary supervision. Antibiotics should not be used unnecessarily, shared between animals, or stopped before the prescribed course is completed.
