I was prescribed Keflex 500mg for 5 days. Rash started on last day, I had no idea till I started researching the drug. On taper of prednisone and tepid showers, itching not to bad so I'm not taking any Benadryl. Could last for a couple of weeks :(

Oh my goodness! I took Molex for 3 days, developed a stomach radh5, and now had red pimple like bumps on my arms and legs that are very itchy, I finished prednisone as well, still talking benadryl

I did not have any problems breakage on my skin, but the rash/hives caused me intense pain & heat. Solarcaine spray with cool aloe (for sunburns) worked good for me & so does pure Aloe Vera. If you have the plant, cut & peel the skin off it & apply the fresh gel on the skin directly.

Hi, I live in Canada and was given Novo-Lexin (Cephalexin) 500 mg every 6h for 7 days and took it all with no problem. Only 3 days after finishing the antibiotic I got the hives and itchiness, it was horrible, my torso, arms, legs, hands, feet. It wend away with Benadryl, wich is an antihistamine. Lasted for about 5 days.

Hi, I had the exact same thing happen to me.... spider bite- Cephallexin- itchy hives-prednisone & benadryl. It’s been 3 weeks now and while it isn’t as bad I still break out in hives. How long did it last? I take Benadryl at night and Claritin during the day. Sometimes I’ll take half a Benadryl during the day if it gets really bad. It’s driving me crazy.

I only took keflex for 2 days and I got an itchy inner arm rash in between my elbow. it's a seven day dose to take 1 pill every 12 hours. Taking it due to a deep cut in my finger an accident and I had 4 stitches. I now want to stop taking the drug after reading the above similar encounters. However, Im calling my doctor tom to see for sure I took enough of the drug to avoid any infection due to being cut but I don't want ato continue if it gives me a rash. Good luck to anyone taking this drug.

This happened to me after taking sulfamethoxazole- tmp ds tablet after what doctor said looked like a spiderbite with some cellullitis. I took two of the pills, morning and night. Woke up with what i though was the biggest mosquito bite id ever seen bit in a place almost impossible for mosuito to access inner thigh. I called the urgent care office that prescribed it-- still waiting on a respsonse. I put cortisone cream on it and took two OTC benadryl. Trying to drink lots of water to flush it out. Im hoping if I stop taking now, it will noot get worse

Similar: Prescribed 3-day dose of Keflex as a post-op preventative. 6 days after last pill I broke out on my wrists & elbow. By the end of the day hives covered 1/3rd of my body; 2 days later 2/3rds - 1st ER Dr gave me steroid injection (felt near-instant relief from itching); 4th day was 2 more ER visits due to severe itching and pain where hives grew together. Hives covered my entire body. I was admitted - Dermatologists diagnosed hives (worst they’ve ever seen, even took photos for their data bank) - prescribed Zyrtec, Zantac, and Prednisone. Ran its course in 6 days - played hell with my mind due to severity of total body skin pain. I’ve received multiple other antibiotics but NEVER had such a terrifying reaction!
