Effectiveness

How Ceclor Affects PatientsCefaclor is a type of antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It is effective against many types of bacteria, including Gram-positive aerobes like Staphylococci and Streptococcus, and Gram-negative aerobes like Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella sp., and Proteus mirabilis.
How Ceclor works in the bodyCefaclor is an antibiotic that works similarly to penicillins. It attaches to proteins inside the bacterial cell wall, which stops the bacteria from making more cell walls. This causes the bacteria to rupture and die. It's also thought that cefaclor may interfere with a protein that stops cell rupture.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed amount of Ceclor depends upon the diagnosed condition, including streptococcus pyogenes skin infection, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Otitis Media. The dosage will differ, contingent on the administration approach delineated in the table underneath.

8/30/2010
Ceclor for Acute Infection of the Nose, Throat or Sinus
I was prescribed this medication over fifteen years ago and quickly found that it made my joints incredibly stiff and painful. I discontinued use and called my doctor, but they claimed the medicine couldn't be the cause. I ended up taking Neproxin for months to recover from the stiffness and pain before changing doctors.
