Question: I accidentally took two doses of cephalexian close together within the hour of each other. and I'm pregnant should everything be ok?
Brief Answer:
It will be alright.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Taking twice the normal dose will not harm you or baby. It is a safe antibiotic during pregnancy. You can skip the next dose to compensate as this double dose will act as a loading dose.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
