June 2025 Medication Guides: Keftab, Micronase, and Cymbalta

Welcome to the June roundup of our most‑read drug guides. In the past month we covered a popular antibiotic, a diabetes pill, and a mood‑boosting antidepressant. Whether you’ve been prescribed one of these meds or are just curious, this page gives you the key facts you need right away.

Antibiotic Spotlight – Keftab (Cephalexin)

Keftab is the brand name many doctors use for cephalexin, a penicillin‑like antibiotic that fights a wide range of bacterial infections. It’s commonly prescribed for skin infections, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. The typical adult dose is 250 mg to 1 g every six to twelve hours, depending on how severe the infection is. Always finish the full course—even if you feel better early—to prevent resistant bugs from surviving.

Most people tolerate Keftab well, but the usual side effects include mild stomach upset, diarrhea, and occasional rash. If you notice severe itching, swelling, or trouble breathing, stop the drug and call your doctor right away—those could be signs of an allergic reaction. To keep your gut happy, take the pill with food and stay hydrated.

Diabetes & Depression Meds – Micronase and Cymbalta

Micronase (generic name glyburide) is a sulfonylurea that helps your pancreas release more insulin. It’s a go‑to option for many people with type 2 diabetes because it works quickly and is inexpensive. Doctors usually start with 2.5‑5 mg once a day, then adjust based on blood‑sugar readings. The biggest safety tip? Watch for low blood sugar, especially if you skip meals or exercise harder than usual. Carry a sugary snack and learn how to treat hypoglycemia fast.

Cymbalta (duloxetine) belongs to a class called SNRIs and is used for depression, anxiety, and certain chronic pain conditions. The usual adult dose starts at 30 mg once daily, sometimes rising to 60 mg if you need more symptom control. Common side effects include dry mouth, nausea, and mild dizziness, which often fade after a week or two. Because Cymbalta can affect how your body processes other meds, always tell your doctor about any over‑the‑counter drugs or supplements you take.

Even though these three drugs treat very different conditions, they share a common theme: proper dosing and awareness of side effects make the biggest difference in safety. If you ever feel unsure about how to take your medication, ask your pharmacist to walk you through the schedule. A quick check‑in with your healthcare provider can catch problems before they become serious.
