General Information on Ceclor
Ceclor is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections which includes respiratory tract, throat, urinary tract, and skin infections. Cefaclor, the main active ingredient in the drug, belongs to a class of medications known as Cephalosporin antibiotics.
Cefaclor works by killing the bacteria and preventing their growth. The drug is supplied in four different strengths; Ceclor 250mg, Ceclor 500mg, Ceclor 750mg and Ceclor c.d 375mg (sustained release tablet).
Ceclor is used only to treat and prevent bacterial infections caused by specific susceptible strains of bacteria. It will not work to cure viral infections. Susceptible strains of bacteria refer to bacteria that have not developed a resistance to antibiotics.
Side effects of Ceclor
You should not use Ceclor if you are allergic to any ingredient in the drug or are hypersensitive to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Ceclor contains many inactive ingredients that may cause allergic reactions if you are hypersensitive to any ingredients in the medication.
People with intestinal disease or kidney disease should avoid using Ceclor. The kidneys play an important role in removing the drug from your body. As you grow older, your kidney functions are reduced. Therefore, elderly people may experience more side effects due to decreased kidney function.
Some people may experience mild to severe side effects after using Ceclor. Headache, stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea are some of the common side effects associated with this drug. Other side effects of the drug include fast heartbeat, drowsingess, and swelling of the hands/feet, loss of appetite, numbness, sore throat, or runny nose.
Ceclor may also cause severe side effects such as yellowing of the eyes/skin, persistent vomiting/nausea, easy bleeding/bruising, mood changes, or abdominal/stomach pain. Women may experience itching or vaginal discharge after using Ceclor.
An increase or decrease in the amount of urine is also one of the side effects associated with the drug. You should contact your doctor immediately if any side effects become bothersome or persist.
If you take two medicines concurrently, you may experience side effects due to drug interactions. To reduce the risk of side effects, tell your doctor about every medicine you are using, which includes prescription medications, over the counter drugs, and herbal supplements before you buy Ceclor.
Ceclor passes into breast milk, so women who are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed should talk to their doctor before using the medication.
Dosage of Ceclor
You should take Ceclor every 8 to 12 hours or as recommended by your doctor. This is necessary because you need to maintain constant levels of the medication in your body to fight the bacterial infection.
Ceclor works best when taken on an empty stomach. Doctors generally recommend patients to take the medication with food to prevent a stomach upset. Therefore, take the medication with your meals or within 15 minutes after having a meal with a glass of water.
