Helpful Tips:
Cephalosporin is occasionally used for the treatment of bacterial infections with unknown causes. They are frequently used in combination with other antibiotics for broad-spectrum antimicrobial control in these situations. Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin or neomycin, amphotericin B, chloramphenicol, blood thinners (anticoagulants), penicillin, and probenecid should not be used at the same time. Contact a veterinarian for advice on how to safely use Rilexine with other medications.
