Description

Ab-clor 125mg|5ml Suspension is an antibiotic medication containing Cefaclor, a cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including otitis media (ear infections), urinary tract infections, respiratory infections (such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and pharyngitis), and skin infections. This suspension formulation is particularly useful for children or individuals who may have difficulty swallowing pills, making it an easy-to-administer option for effective treatment.

Functions

Cefaclor works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, a process essential for bacterial survival. By preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, Ab-clor causes the bacteria to weaken and die, thereby treating infections. It is effective against a range of bacterial pathogens that cause common infections in the respiratory, urinary, and skin systems, helping patients recover faster and preventing the spread of bacteria.

Precautions

Ab-clor should be used with caution in individuals with a history of allergies to cephalosporins or penicillin. Patients with renal (kidney) issues should consult their healthcare provider as the medication may require dosage adjustments. It is important to monitor for signs of gastrointestinal diseases or colitis, as this antibiotic can sometimes cause inflammation in the intestines. Pregnant women should seek medical advice before starting this medication, while the safety of Cefaclor during breastfeeding is not fully understood, so consulting a doctor is advised.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ab-clor include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More serious side effects may include allergic reactions (such as skin rash, itching, or swelling), hemolytic anemia (where red blood cells break down prematurely), and pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the colon). If you experience severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or persistent diarrhea, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

• Pregnancy: Ab-clor is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, but always consult a doctor before use.
• Lactation: The effects of Cefaclor on breastfeeding infants are not fully established, so it is best to consult your healthcare provider if you are nursing.
• Kidney Function: Individuals with renal impairment should use Ab-clor with caution and may need dosage adjustments.
• Allergy Alert: People with known allergies to cephalosporins or penicillins should avoid taking this medication.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs or supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
• Diarrhea Risk: Cefaclor may cause diarrhea during treatment. If the diarrhea is severe or persists after stopping the medication, seek medical advice.
