Keftab

Keftab is a prescription-only oral antibiotic that belongs to the cephalosporin class of drugs. It contains the active ingredient cephalexin, which is widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections such as skin infections, urinary-tract infections, and certain respiratory infections. In Singapore, Keftab is approved for adult patients and is available in tablet strengths ranging from 125 mg to 750 mg. While its primary role is to clear bacterial infections, clinicians may occasionally consider it for off-label indications when the infection’s likely pathogens are known to be susceptible to cephalosporins.

What is Generic Keftab (Cephalexin)?

Generic Keftab (Cephalexin) is a beta-lactam antibiotic that belongs to the first-generation cephalosporin family. It received approval from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore in 1998 and is marketed as a prescription-only tablet. As a generic product, it contains the same active molecule as brand-name cephalexin tablets sold worldwide, offering the same therapeutic effects at a lower cost. The drug is supplied in 125 mg, 250 mg, 375 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg tablets, allowing clinicians to tailor dosing to the severity of the infection and the patient’s renal function.

How Keftab Works

Cephalexin exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, weakening the wall and causing osmotic lysis of the bacteria. Because the drug is time-dependent, maintaining plasma concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is essential for efficacy. After oral administration, cephalexin is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma levels within .5-1 hour, and is primarily eliminated unchanged by the kidneys, giving an elimination half-life of about 1 hour in individuals with normal renal function. These pharmacokinetic properties allow for convenient twice-daily dosing for most infections.

Why Keftab Is Used for Infection Conditions

• Skin and soft-tissue infections - The drug’s ability to disrupt bacterial cell-wall synthesis makes it highly effective against Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-sensitive strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes, the most common pathogens in cellulitis and impetigo.
• Urinary-tract infections - Cephalexin achieves high urinary concentrations, making it a first-line option for uncomplicated cystitis caused by susceptible Enterobacteriaceae.
• Upper respiratory tract infections - It covers typical streptococcal organisms responsible for pharyngitis and tonsillitis, providing an oral alternative to injectable penicillins.
• Bone and joint infections (selected cases) - When cultures confirm a cephalosporin-sensitive organism, Keftab can be used as part of a step-down regimen after initial parenteral therapy.

In each of these scenarios, the drug’s rapid bactericidal activity translates into faster symptom resolution and a lower risk of complications compared with agents that rely solely on bacteriostatic mechanisms.

Off-Label and Investigational Uses of Keftab

Clinical trials and case series have explored cephalexin for early-stage Lyme disease, prophylaxis after animal bites, and as part of combination therapy for osteomyelitis. None of these indications are approved by the HSA, and the evidence remains limited to small, open-label studies. Off-label use should only be considered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

Is Keftab Right for You?

Keftab is appropriate for adult patients who need treatment for bacterial infections proven or highly likely to respond to cephalexin. It is particularly suitable for individuals who:

• Have normal or mildly reduced renal function (dose adjustment may be required for eGFR < 30 mL/min).
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding, unless a clinician determines the benefits outweigh any theoretical risks.
• Do not have a documented hypersensitivity to cephalosporins or penicillins (cross-reactivity can occur).

Patients with severe hepatic impairment, a history of Clostridioides difficile infection, or known allergy to β-lactams should avoid the medication or use it only after specialist review.

Taking Keftab Effectively

• Timing: Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Food does not markedly affect absorption, so it can be taken with or without meals.
• Missed dose: If a dose is missed for less than 12 hours, take it as soon as remembered; otherwise, skip and resume the regular schedule. Do not double-dose.
• Travel: When traveling to regions with limited pharmacy services, ordering through our online pharmacy ensures a reliable supply without compromising the dosing schedule.
• Kidney adjustment: Reduce the total daily dose by 25-50 % for patients with an eGFR below 30 mL/min, using the lowest available strength that maintains therapeutic coverage.

Understanding Side Effects and How to Manage Them

Cephalexin’s most common adverse reactions-diarrhoea, nausea, and mild rash-arise because the drug can disturb normal gut flora and, in rare cases, trigger a mild immune-mediated response. To minimise gastrointestinal upset, patients should stay hydrated and avoid excessive dairy or antacids close to dosing. If a maculopapular rash appears, it is usually self-limiting; however, the presence of fever, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing signals a serious hypersensitivity reaction that requires immediate medical attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I do if I miss a dose of Keftab? Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember if it’s been less than 12 hours; otherwise, skip it and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double-dose.

• Can I take Keftab with food or dairy products? Yes. Food does not significantly affect absorption, but large amounts of calcium-rich foods may slightly reduce bioavailability; a short gap of 30 minutes is advisable if you are concerned.

• Is Keftab safe for people with mild kidney disease? For an eGFR of 30-60 mL/min, a reduced total daily dose is recommended; severe impairment warrants a physician-guided adjustment or an alternative agent.

• How quickly will my infection improve? Most patients notice a reduction in pain and swelling within 48-72 hours, though full resolution may take 5-7 days depending on the infection site and severity.

• Can I use Keftab for acne? Cephalexin is not first-line for acne; while it covers some skin-flora bacteria, dermatologists usually prefer topical agents or different oral antibiotics with proven efficacy for acne.

• What distinguishes Keftab from other cephalosporins? Its relatively short half-life allows flexible twice-daily dosing, and the broad spectrum against Gram-positive organisms makes it a convenient empiric choice for uncomplicated infections.

• Will taking Keftab cause antibiotic resistance? Incomplete courses or unnecessary use can promote resistant strains. Completing the full prescribed regimen is essential to preserve its effectiveness.

• Are there any drug interactions I should be aware of? Cephalexin may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and can increase serum concentrations of probenecid and certain anticoagulants; discuss any concurrent medications with your prescriber.

• Is there a sugar-free formulation? The tablets are formulated without added sugars, making them suitable for patients monitoring carbohydrate intake.

• How does Keftab compare with amoxicillin? Both are β-lactams, but cephalexin offers superior coverage against Staphylococcus aureus, whereas amoxicillin is more active against Haemophilus influenzae. Choice depends on the suspected pathogen and local resistance patterns.
