No, my 17 yr old son did. He
s on septra and keflex for a dogbite. IF I was at work, I could ask the pharmacist, as I am an RN. Probation Officer at court is texting me, so I need a fast answer, pleease, and thank you so very much. =)

No the keflex shouldn't cause it, Betsy.

I looked through my database and I didn't see any reports of that.

Please don’t click “bad” or “poor” service as this leaves negative feedback for me. If you aren’t 100% satisfied or have more questions, click “continue conversation” instead.

Do you see that Septra (Bactrim) does? It said so on www.askdocweb.com

Expert:  DrPhilMD replied 272 days and 22 hours ago.

Yes, I did see that. But not for the keflex (cephalexin)

Customer replied 272 days and 21 hours ago.

Thanks soo very much. Are you truly an MD, or are you a person with a database, and no MD credentials?

I am truly an MD in private practice in the midwest.
