4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
To ensure the efficacy of the drug, do not use together with bacteriostatic antibiotics. The concomitant use of first generation cephalosporins with aminoglycoside antibiotics or with some diuretics such as furosemide may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.

4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Oral administration.
15 mg cephalexin/kg body weight, twice daily (equivalent to 30 mg/kg body weight/day) during:
– 14 days in case of urinary tract infection
– for at least 15 days in superficial infectious dermatitis.
– for at least 28 days in deep infectious dermatitis.
In severe or acute cases the dose can be safely doubled to 30 mg/kg twice daily. To adjust the dose, the tablets can be broken in half and into quarters.

To ensure correct dosing, the animal's weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
