Why Keflex? This is not usually prescribed for pouchitis. It is more for respiratory, wound, or urinary tract infections Have  you already tried Flagyl or Cipro? Those are typically prescribed. If no response in three days call back And ask about what is routinely prescribed. The wrong antibiotic could actually make it worse.

Keflex is a second tier antibiotic for pouchitis.  First tier is cipro, flagyl, xifaxin and augmentin. You could use Levacquin as the "5th starter" in the rotation - but never before or after cipro which is in the same family.  That would be the starting rotation, to use a baseball analogy.  Also to use a baseball analogy, Keflex is in the bullpen, towards the end.
