Ceclor 250 Mg Suspension 75 ml

Ceclor 250 Mg Suspension 75 ml

Description:

Ceclor 250 mg suspension 75 ml is an oral prescription antibiotic medicine containing cefaclor, a second-generation cephalosporin. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, ear, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. Ceclor works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of susceptible bacteria. This product is a systemic antibiotic and should be used only under medical supervision and exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Treatment of pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis.
• Treatment of upper respiratory tract infections such as sinusitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Management of otitis media (middle ear infections).
• Treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis and uncomplicated genital tract infections caused by susceptible organisms.
• Treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, including wound infections and uncomplicated skin infections.
• Infections caused by susceptible strains of organisms including ampicillin-resistant haemophilus influenzae and moraxella (branhamella) catarrhalis, as well as other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria sensitive to cefaclor.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Cefaclor – 250 mg per 5 ml oral suspension (reconstituted).
• Other excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients (such as suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and preservatives) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Ceclor 250 mg/5 ml suspension is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Usual adult dose (for many infections): 250 mg every 8 hours (i.e., 5 ml of suspension three times daily). For more severe infections or infections caused by less susceptible organisms, the dose may be increased as directed by the physician. Exact dosing must be determined by the doctor.
• Pediatric dosing: Dose is based on body weight (mg/kg/day) divided into 2–3 doses. The doctor will calculate the appropriate dose for children. Do not adjust the dose without medical advice.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
• Measure the dose accurately using a medical measuring spoon or oral syringe; do not use household teaspoons.
• Ceclor suspension may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, taking it with food may help.
• Use for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent relapse and antibiotic resistance.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens responsible for common community infections.
• Helps rapidly reduce symptoms such as fever, sore throat, ear pain, cough, painful urination, and skin redness associated with susceptible bacterial infections.
• Oral suspension form is convenient for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets, allowing accurate weight-based dosing.
• Demonstrates enhanced activity against ampicillin-resistant haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis, common pathogens in respiratory and ear infections.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cefaclor, other cephalosporins, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis) to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics due to possible cross-sensitivity.
• Patients with renal impairment may require dose adjustment; use only under medical supervision.
• Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi; if superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be instituted.
• Antibiotic-associated colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) has been reported with cephalosporins; if severe or persistent diarrhea occurs, discontinue the drug and seek medical attention immediately.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor; discuss risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
• May interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., urine glucose tests using non-enzymatic methods, Coombs test); inform the laboratory and your doctor that you are taking cefaclor.
• Do not use this product to treat viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
• Do not share this antibiotic with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease (especially colitis), or a history of severe allergies.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without a doctor’s prescription and supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
• Allergic reactions may occur, including rash, itching, urticaria (hives), and, rarely, severe reactions such as angioedema, bronchospasm, or anaphylaxis. Seek immediate medical attention if signs of severe allergy (swelling of face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing) occur.
• Other possible side effects include headache, dizziness, fatigue, or transient changes in liver enzymes or blood counts, as reported with cephalosporins.
• Antibiotic-associated colitis (severe, persistent, or bloody diarrhea) is a serious side effect; stop the medication and contact a doctor immediately if this occurs.
• If any unusual or severe symptoms appear, or if known side effects worsen, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider promptly.
