Rilexine treats many types of infections, including upper respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and infections found in the bones and joints. It is a part of a broad-spectrum class of drugs called cephalosporin antibiotics. Cephalosporins fight bacterial infections all over the body. Rilexine inhibits the growth of bacteria’s cell wall. This antibiotic does not treat fungal infections, viral infections, or those infections caused by mites or parasites.
