How should you take Keflex?

Take Keflex medication exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each Keflex dose with a full glass of water.

Keflex can be taken on an empty stomach or with food or milk if it causes stomach upset. To ensure that you get a correct Keflex dose, measure the liquid form of Keflex with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Shake the Keflex suspension well before measuring a dose Keflex.

Take Keflex at evenly spaced intervals to keep a constant level of drug in the body. It is important to take Keflex regularly to get the most benefit of Keflex medication. Take all of the Keflex that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.

Keflex Storage Instruction: Store the Keflex tablets and Keflex capsules at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Store the Keflex suspension in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused Keflex medication after 14 days.
