When Should I Take The Next Dose Of Cephalexin?

I have a question regarding a med i use currently called cephalexin, I missed a dosage and I took two hours later , should I be taking the next dosage on time. It is after 12 hours and because I was late taking my med it is going to be 9 hours or so, is that ok?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, taking this medicine one or two hours late does not make any difference.
Take second dose as per your schedule i.e. after 9 hours.
Ok and take care.
