Pharmacological properties
Ospexin is a 1st generation antibiotic from the cephalosporin group. The leading component of the drug is cephalexin. Reception of cephalexin is carried out by a purely oral method (inside). Differs in a wide range of effects on many pathogenic microorganisms.
Staphylococci, pneumococci, corynobacteria that cause diphtheria, meningococci, gonococci, shigella, salmonella, and Escherichia coli are especially vulnerable to its action. This antibiotic is ineffective when infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, treponemes and Koch’s bacillus, the causative agent of tuberculosis. The drug purposefully destroys metabolic processes in the cells of the wall of the microorganism, which leads to irreversible changes in the structure of the cell membrane, and to the death of the bacteria.
The product is characterized by high permeability to all organs, fluids, and tissues of the body. The drug is excreted through the kidneys.

Indications for use
The indications for taking Ospexin are: bronchitis (acute and chronic); sinusitis; pharyngitis; tracheitis; tonsillitis; pneumonia (chronic and acute); otitis media; lung abscess; pyelonephritis; prostatitis; urethritis; cystitis; endometritis; gonorrhea; vulvitis; infections of soft tissues and skin; inflammation of the joints and bone tissue.

Contraindications
Drug therapy is contraindicated in the presence of increased sensitivity to antibiotics of the cephalosporin group. With caution, the drug should be prescribed in the presence of individual sensitivity to penicillins, as well as in patients with impaired renal function.

Children

Pregnancy and breastfeeding period
Since cephalexin has the ability to penetrate into breast milk and through the blood-placental barrier, prescribing a drug during this period is undesirable, although it does not have mutagenic and teratogenic properties.
