Description

Ag-Clor 250mg Capsules are an effective antibiotic treatment containing Cefaclor, a cephalosporin antibiotic, designed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. These capsules are used to treat common bacterial infections including otitis media (ear infections), respiratory infections like bronchitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia, as well as urinary tract and skin infections. Ag-Clor capsules are ideal for patients who prefer an oral medication for managing bacterial infections. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and complete the prescribed course for best results.

Functions

Ag-Clor 250mg Capsules work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, effectively helping to combat infections. Cefaclor, the active ingredient, targets the bacterial cell walls, leading to their destruction and preventing the bacteria from multiplying. This action makes it effective against a range of bacterial infections in different parts of the body, including the respiratory system, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It provides relief from symptoms and helps clear the infection over the course of treatment.

Precautions

Before using Ag-Clor 250mg Capsules, consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of hypersensitivity to penicillin, severe kidney problems, or gastrointestinal disorders. Pregnant women should seek medical advice before taking this medication. Additionally, caution is advised for individuals with a history of gastrointestinal issues like colitis. Ensure you complete the full course of the antibiotic, even if you feel better before the treatment is finished, to prevent bacterial resistance and ensure complete eradication of the infection.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Ag-Clor 250mg Capsules may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Rare but serious side effects can include allergic reactions like rashes, difficulty breathing, and swelling. Other rare side effects may include pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the colon) and hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells). If any severe reactions occur, such as difficulty breathing or severe diarrhea, immediately contact your healthcare provider for advice.

Cautions

Ag-Clor 250mg Capsules should be avoided by individuals who are allergic to cefaclor or other cephalosporin antibiotics. Patients with severe renal (kidney) impairment or gastrointestinal disorders should use this medication with caution. It is important to not use this antibiotic for viral infections, such as the common cold or flu, as it is only effective against bacterial infections. Always follow the dosage instructions carefully, and if you experience any significant side effects or complications, discontinue use and seek medical attention promptly.
