Some possible side effects are nausea, dizziness, headache, vaginitis, low platelets and white cell count, elevated liver enzymes and elevated BUN. A yeast infection can occur under the breasts or in folds of skin, as well as in the vagina; however, it is not normal.

Common side effects are headache, muscle/joint pain, and heartburn. However, because Cephalexin is an antibiotic, it is very likely that this could cause a yeast infection. If you have any vaginal discharge, be sure to see a doctor.
