No. While Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Keflex (cephalexin) are both antibiotics, they belong to different drug "families" and have different spectrums of activity. They are used to treat a different list of infections (with some overlap). Therefore it is important to use each drug exactly as prescribed.

No. They are both antibiotics, but cephalexin is from a group of drugs known as cephalosporin antibiotics and ciprofloxacin is from a group of drugs known as fluoroquinolones.
