Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL

Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL is an antibiotic medicine containing cefaclor, a second-generation cephalosporin. Each 30 mL bottle provides 187 mg of cefaclor in oral suspension form, which is useful for people who need a liquid antibiotic rather than a tablet or capsule. It is prescribed to treat certain bacterial infections, such as ear, throat, sinus, skin, and respiratory tract infections. Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL only works against bacteria, not viruses like the common cold or flu.

How it works: Cefaclor works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall, which weakens the bacteria and helps stop them from growing. In suspension form, Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL is easier to swallow and measure for patients who need a liquid antibiotic.

The Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL strength is a liquid formulation that may suit children, adults who have trouble swallowing, or anyone who needs a measured oral antibiotic dose. Because this is a specific 187 mg suspension, a clinician may choose it when a liquid dose is preferred over capsules or when dosing needs to be adjusted more precisely. It is not a lower-strength starter dose for self-use; the right amount and schedule depend on the infection and the prescriber’s plan.

• Bacterial ear infections
• Bacterial throat or tonsil infections
• Sinus infections caused by bacteria
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Respiratory tract infections
• Other cefaclor-sensitive bacterial infections

• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the dose exactly with an oral syringe or medicine spoon; do not use a kitchen spoon.
• Take it exactly as prescribed and finish the full course, even if you start feeling better.
• You may take cefaclor with or without food if your prescriber does not instruct otherwise.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• If the suspension needs reconstitution or special mixing instructions from the pharmacy, follow the label directions carefully.

Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL provides 187 mg of cefaclor per bottle, so the prescribed dose may require measuring part or all of the bottle depending on the directions. How often it is taken can vary, commonly in divided doses during the day, and the maximum daily amount is set by the prescriber based on the infection, age, and kidney function. Use this strength only under a doctor’s direction, because the exact dose and duration for Distaclor 187 mg Oral Suspension 30 mL are individualized.
