Cefaclor

Cefaclor is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. It works by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to build a protective cell wall, which helps stop the infection from growing.

It is commonly prescribed for infections of the ears, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Use only as directed, and tell your clinician about any penicillin or cephalosporin allergy, kidney problems, or side effects such as diarrhea or rash.
