Indications

Abaclor Pediatric Drop is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections in children, including:

• Respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
• Ear infections (otitis media)
• Throat infections including tonsillitis and pharyngitis
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

This medicine is not effective against viral infections such as colds, flu, or other viral illnesses.

Mechanism of Action

Cefaclor Monohydrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening and eventual destruction of the bacterial cells, effectively clearing the infection.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage is determined based on the child’s body weight and severity of the infection.
• The usual pediatric dose ranges from 20 mg/kg/day to 40 mg/kg/day, divided into multiple doses as prescribed by the physician.
