Can Pueraria lobata and Cephalexin be taken together?

In real life, Pueraria lobata and cephalexin are two relatively common medicines. Pueraria lobata is a medicine made from traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and detumescent, and also has a certain effect on human detoxification. Cephalexin is an anti-inflammatory drug that can effectively treat diseases such as inflammation or infection of body organs. However, the two cannot be taken together, as reactions may occur.

Can Pueraria lobata and Cephalexin cause taking?

The main ingredient of Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Tablets is traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, swelling and relieving pain. It can be used to treat diseases such as carbuncle, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and relieve symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain.

Cefuroxime is a general term for cephalosporin antibiotics, which can be currently divided into first, second, third and fourth generations, and the antibacterial activity of each generation is different. Cephalosporins can be distributed in various parts of the body. Therefore, if any tissue or organ is infected, it can be used as long as the pathogen is sensitive to cephalosporins, whether it is Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. Cephalexin is also a bactericide. In addition to inhibiting bacteria, it can also kill bacteria if the concentration is sufficient.

Will the efficacy of two drugs be doubled if they are taken together? Not necessarily, because each drug has different characteristics of action, different effects on the body, and there are drug interactions. Furthermore, most drugs are metabolized by the liver before they take effect. The liver's detoxification capacity has a certain upper limit. If it exceeds the upper limit, it will become toxic side effects.

Therefore, it is not recommended to take Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Tablets and cephalexin together.
