Distaclor CD

Product Overview

Distaclor CD is a cephalosporin antibiotic containing cefaclor as its active ingredient, designed to combat bacterial infections. This broad-spectrum antibiotic effectively targets numerous bacteria responsible for respiratory, skin, urinary tract, and other infections. By inhibiting bacterial growth, Distaclor CD alleviates infection symptoms and prevents the proliferation of harmful microorganisms.

Uses

This medication is indicated for bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains. Clinicians commonly prescribe Distaclor CD for:
– Respiratory infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
– Skin infections (cellulitis, impetigo)
– Urinary tract infections (cystitis, pyelonephritis)
– Ear and throat infections
Treatment selection depends on infection type and severity as determined by your healthcare professional.

How it Works

Distaclor CD’s mechanism of action:
1. Targets bacterial cell wall synthesis
2. Cefaclor binds to specific bacterial proteins
3. Inhibits cell wall formation
4. Weakens bacterial structure
5. Causes cell rupture and death
This bactericidal action halts infection spread while enabling immune system clearance of remaining pathogens.
