Cephalexin and Trimethoprim Granules
Function and Efficacy
Cephalexin is a first-generation cephalosporin with an antibacterial spectrum similar to that of cephalothin, but its antibacterial activity is poorer than that of the latter. Except for Enterococcus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, most strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, hemolytic Streptococcus, and Staphylococci that produce or do not produce penicillinase are sensitive to this product. This product has a good antibacterial effect on Neisseria, but Haemophilus influenzae is less sensitive to this product. This product has a certain antibacterial effect on some Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella and Shigella. The remaining Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacteroides fragilis are resistant to this product. Fusobacterium and Veillonella are generally sensitive to this product, and anaerobic Gram-positive cocci are moderately sensitive to this product. Trimethoprim is an antibacterial agent, and its mechanism of action is to interfere with bacterial folate metabolism.
Ingredients
This product is a compound preparation, containing 50 mg of cephalexin and 10 mg of trimethoprim per gram.

Occasionally, patients have elevated serum aminotransferase and positive Coombs test. Hemolytic anemia is rare, and neutropenia and pseudomembranous colitis have also been reported. 6. Trimethoprim's interference with folic acid metabolism can produce adverse reactions in the blood system, such as leukopenia, thrombocytopenia or methemoglobin anemia. Generally, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia are mild, and can be recovered by stopping the drug in time. Folic acid preparations can also be added.
