Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Yes, you can take cephalexin while trying to become pregnant. It helps in fighting bacterial infections.But you should avoid if you have any allergy complications

All the drugs will have his own side effects but you have to remember that the benefit of taking the antibiotic outweighs the risk, which, is minimal.

Hope you got the answer for your query
