What Causes Dizziness While On Apo-Cephalex?
I am taking apo-cephalexin and kenacomb ointment that have been prescribed to me by a doctor to help a skin infection on my stomach from a scratch that became infected. This treatment was prescribed to me on Wednesday night. This morning i have woken up feeling very dizzy. Is this a side effect from both of the medications i am taking? The infection is still there, but it is getting better.

Hello,
Dizziness could be a side effect of Apo-Ceplalex commonly seen in patients allergic to Cephalexin & Penicillin or in those having liver dysfunction.
You are suggested to report to your treating doctor so that he can replace it with an antibiotic that suits you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
