Missed Dose and Overdose: What to Do

Missed a dose? Take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you frequently miss doses, talk to your doctor about a simpler schedule or medication reminder system.

Overdose

Suspect an overdose? Contact your doctor or a poison control center immediately. Seek immediate medical attention. Have the cephalexin bottle available to provide information to medical professionals. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional.

Symptoms of Overdose

Potential overdose symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and allergic reactions like rash or itching. Note any unusual symptoms and report them to your doctor or poison control immediately.
