Distaclor CD

Product Overview

Distaclor CD is a cephalosporin antibiotic containing cefaclor as its active ingredient. This broad-spectrum medication effectively treats various bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial growth. It’s commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, skin conditions, urinary tract infections, and other bacterial illnesses, helping alleviate symptoms and prevent bacterial spread.

• Shake suspension well before use
• Use provided measuring device for liquid doses

How it Works

Distaclor CD’s mechanism of action:
