Dentist prescribed 500 mg three times a day for 10 days for a nasty absess in a tooth/gum which resulted in severe pain and swelling. The major pain was literally relieved overnight and was gone as was the swelling within 72 hours. Did continue for the prescribed 10 days. No noticible side effects. This has been my go to drug for dental issues for years. It's cheap, it works!

Given keflex after breast cancer surgery while I had drains in. Within 24 hrs. I began having severe bm's, severe exhaustion, headache, joint pains, dizziness, and broke out in blisters around the drain sights. I am allergic to PCN so I was concerned when I was put on this. My Dr. felt the side effects would be minimum compared to keeping infection out of the drain sights. NOT! I will never allow myself to take this medication again or be prescribed this medication. I will inform the surgeon of the side effects as well as my primary care. Nothing like being sick while you're trying to heal from surgery.If you are allergic to PCN, a doctor should respect that and not prescribe a medication that is a cousin of PCN, regardless of the considered benefits. There are always other medications that can be used.

I was prescribed Keflex (500mg) after I had shoulder surgery. At day 8, I began having stomach cramps, chills, low grade fever, and diarrhea. All symptoms except diarrhea subsided after discontinuing use, as advised by my physician. Diarrhea continued for one additional day. However, bowels have not returned to normal (3 days after stopping).
