How Distaclor 500mg Works ?

Distaclor contains Cefaclor, a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by targeting the cell wall of bacteria. It inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for their survival. Without this protective structure, bacteria become unable to maintain their shape and integrity, leading to their destruction. By disrupting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, Distaclor effectively treats infections in various parts of the body, including the respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.

Dosage 

• General Dosage: The typical dose for adults is 500mg twice daily (every 12 hours), but it may vary based on the infection and doctor's recommendation.
• For Children: The dosage for children is usually adjusted based on age and weight; follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
• Duration: Treatment typically lasts 7-14 days, depending on the severity and type of infection.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Adjustments: Your doctor may adjust the dosage for individuals with kidney issues. Always follow the prescribed instructions.
