Cefaclor

Is a cephalosporin antibiotic, a type of medication used to treat bacterial infections.

Cefaclor is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including:

Ear infections (otitis media)

Sinus infections (sinusitis)

Tonsillitis and pharyngitis (sore throat)

Skin infections

Pneumonia

Bronchitis

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Distaclor 187mg Syp (Cefaclor) works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It does this by interfering with the bacteria's ability to build cell walls. Without a strong cell wall, the bacteria cannot survive.

Store Cefaclor at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

The dosage of Cefaclor will vary depending on the type of infection being treated and the patient's age, weight, and overall health.

Cefaclor is typically taken by mouth, with or without food.

It is important to take Cefaclor exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to complete the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better.
