Ceclor Cefaclor 125 Mg Suspension 75 ml

Ceclor Cefaclor 125 Mg Suspension 75 ml

Description:

Ceclor Cefaclor 125 mg Suspension 75 ml is a prescription oral 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. This pediatric-friendly suspension is typically prescribed for children but may also be used in adults who require liquid formulations. Ceclor works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria and helping relieve infection-related symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, painful urination, and skin redness.

Indications:

• Treatment of lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and other pulmonary infections caused by susceptible organisms.
• Acute bronchitis and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
• Acute sinusitis and other upper respiratory tract infections.
• Otitis media (middle ear infection), especially in children.
• Pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis.
• Certain genital tract infections caused by susceptible organisms, as directed by a physician.
• Skin and soft tissue infections, including wound infections, cellulitis, and impetigo.
• Other infections caused by cefaclor-susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Cefaclor – 125 mg per 5 ml oral suspension (second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic).
• Inactive ingredients: The full list of excipients (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:

• Use only as prescribed by a physician. Dosage depends on age, body weight, type, and severity of infection.
• Typical pediatric dose (for guidance only – always follow your doctor’s instructions): often 20–40 mg/kg/day of cefaclor divided into 2–3 doses. The exact dose, frequency, and duration must be determined by the treating physician.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
• Measure the dose accurately using the provided 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 improve tolerance.
• Take doses at evenly spaced intervals (e.g., every 8 or 12 hours) to maintain effective antibiotic levels in the blood.
• Continue the full course of therapy exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent relapse and antibiotic resistance.
• If a dose is missed, give 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.
• Do not stop treatment or change the dose without consulting your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial action against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including some ampicillin-resistant strains.
• Effective in treating common pediatric infections such as otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and respiratory tract infections.
• Helps reduce infection-related symptoms like fever, sore throat, cough, ear pain, painful urination, and inflamed skin lesions.
• Oral suspension form facilitates easy and accurate dosing in children and patients who cannot swallow tablets or capsules.

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 allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics due to possible cross-sensitivity.
• Inform your doctor if you have kidney impairment, gastrointestinal disease (especially colitis), or a history of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
• Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi; if superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be instituted.
• Ceclor may cause false-positive results in some laboratory tests (e.g., urine glucose tests using copper reduction methods). Inform laboratory personnel you are taking cefaclor.
• Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if clearly needed and under medical supervision. Discuss risks and benefits with your doctor.
• Do not use this medicine without medical supervision, and never share antibiotics with others.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, severe allergies, or gastrointestinal disorders.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, or mild skin rash.
• Allergic reactions can occur, ranging from mild rash or itching to severe reactions such as angioedema, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. Seek immediate medical attention if signs of severe allergy appear.
• Antibiotic-associated colitis (including Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea) may occur. Persistent or severe diarrhea, especially with blood or mucus, requires prompt medical evaluation.
• Less common side effects may include headache, dizziness, joint pain, or changes in blood counts or liver function tests. Your doctor may monitor if treatment is prolonged.
