Nesdrox contains cefalexin which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against a wide variety of bacteria. It works by preventing the cell wall synthesis in bacteria by binding to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins). The cell wall protects the bacteria from the environment, in the absence of a cell wall, the bacteria becomes vulnerable and dies. Nesdrox is effective against bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Beta-hemolytic streptococci, Moraxella catarrhalis, Staphylococci strains, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella species.

Yes, Nesdrox might cause a yeast infection because it antibiotic kills both bad bacteria and good bacteria as well. Good bacteria prevent the growth of yeast (fungi) in our body. The absence of these good bacteria that keeps them in check provides a favorable environment for the growth of yeast which results in yeast infection.
