Cephalexin
A first-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, used for skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and streptococcal pharyngitis. It is particularly effective against gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. It is generally well tolerated and widely used in community medicine.

Ranitidine may reduce the absorption rate of cephalexin by raising gastric pH, but overall bioavailability is not substantially altered, making this interaction clinically insignificant.
Cephalexin competes with metformin for renal tubular secretion via OCT2 and MATE transporters, which can modestly increase metformin plasma concentrations and its renal clearance.
Cephalexin may enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, with case reports describing INR elevation during concurrent therapy, likely through disruption of vitamin K-producing gut flora.
