Cephalexin pill images

Cephalexin (Keflex) is supplied as tablets and capsules by 18 labelers, and each one stamps its own code on the pill. The 29 versions below come from the product listings inside their FDA labels: color, shape, size in millimeters, scoring, and the imprint.

Every image is a rendering built from that listing, not a photograph, so the imprint and proportions match the label exactly and the surface finish is an approximation. Confirm any pill against the pharmacy label or a pharmacist before relying on it.
