Information
Distaclor MR is a brand name for the antibiotic cefaclor, which belongs to the class of medications known as cephalosporins. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The "MR" in its name stands for "modified release," indicating that the medication is formulated to release the active ingredient, cefaclor, into the body over an extended period. This allows for less frequent dosing compared to immediate-release formulations. Distaclor MR is effective against various infections, including those affecting the throat, ears, skin, and urinary tract, among others. As with any antibiotic, it is crucial to follow the prescribing doctor's instructions to ensure effectiveness and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
