Description

Acef 250mg/5ml Suspension is an antibiotic medication containing Cefaclor as its active ingredient. Cefaclor is a type of cephalosporin antibiotic that works by targeting and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. This medication is commonly prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, including otitis media (ear infections), urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, pharyngitis, and bronchitis), and skin and soft tissue infections. With its liquid form, Acef 250mg/5ml Suspension is easy to administer, making it an excellent option for both adults and children needing antibiotic therapy.

Functions

• Bacterial Infection Treatment: Acef 250mg/5ml Suspension is designed to treat various bacterial infections by stopping the growth of the bacteria causing the illness. It is effective for infections in the ear, urinary tract, respiratory tract, and skin.
• Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: As a cephalosporin antibiotic, Acef targets a broad range of harmful bacteria, making it a reliable choice for infections in multiple areas of the body.
• Symptom Relief: The suspension helps reduce symptoms of infections, including pain, fever, and swelling, promoting faster recovery and easing discomfort.

Precautions

• Allergic Reactions: Acef 250mg/5ml Suspension should not be used by individuals who have a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillin. An allergic reaction can be severe and may include skin rashes, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat.
• Kidney Function: Caution is advised for those with a history of renal (kidney) impairment. If you have kidney disease, your doctor may adjust the dosage or monitor kidney function during treatment.
• Gastrointestinal Diseases: If you have a history of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as colitis or other digestive issues, talk to your doctor before using Acef, as it may aggravate these conditions.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: Acef can be used during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor, but its effects during breastfeeding are not well-documented. Always consult a healthcare provider if you are pregnant or nursing before using this medication.

Side Effects

• Gastrointestinal Issues: Some individuals may experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. This is usually mild and can be managed by taking the suspension with food.
• Skin Reactions: A rash or itching may occur, which could indicate an allergic reaction. If severe, seek medical attention immediately.
• Pseudomembranous Colitis: Though rare, this condition causes inflammation of the colon and may result in severe diarrhea. If this occurs, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
• Hemolytic Anemia: In rare cases, the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia) can happen, leading to symptoms such as pale skin, fatigue, and shortness of breath. If these symptoms appear, seek medical attention right away.
• Hypersensitivity Reactions: An allergic reaction may manifest as swelling of the throat or difficulty breathing, which requires immediate medical intervention.

Cautions

• Porphyria: Acef 250mg/5ml Suspension is contraindicated in individuals with porphyria, a rare metabolic disorder that affects the skin and nervous system.
• Monitor Symptoms: Always complete the full course of treatment even if you begin feeling better before finishing the medicine. Stopping early may lead to a recurrence of infection or antibiotic resistance.
• Drug Interactions: Be sure to inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, especially other antibiotics or blood thinners, as these could interact with Cefaclor and affect its efficacy or increase side effects.
• Diarrhea Warning: Diarrhea is a common side effect during treatment with antibiotics, including Acef. If diarrhea persists or becomes severe, discontinue the medication and consult your doctor.
