To avoid under dosing, the bodyweight should be accurately determined.
The use of cefalexin tablets of lower strengths is advised for dogs with lower bodyweights.
Adverse reactions
Vomiting has been observed occasionally in dogs when given products containing cefalexin. As with other antibiotics, diarrhoea can occur. In case of recurring vomiting and/or diarrhoea, the treatment should be discontinued and the advice of the attending veterinarian should be sought.
In rare cases hypersensitivity can occur. In cases of hypersensitivity reactions, the treatment should be discontinued and occurring symptoms should be treated symptomatically.

- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
