Suggest Treatment For Generalised Myasthenia Gravis

I suffer from generalised Myasthenia Gravis. My medication is Mestinon and azathioprine (immune-suppressant). Today I went to a walk-in clinic with cystitus and was prescribed Keflex (anti-biotic). I am just checking whether it is okay to take as I don't want to take anything that sends me into crisis.
