What Cloracef Forte 500 Is Used For

Cloracef Forte 500 is designed to fight bacteria that cause common infections like bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis. It is also used to treat bladder infections, skin infections like cellulitis, and infections in children such as otitis media (ear infections). It works only for bacterial infections and will not help with viral illnesses like the flu or common cold.

Active Ingredient and How It Works

Each capsule contains cefaclor 500 mg. it is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis. Without a strong cell wall, bacteria cannot survive or multiply, allowing your body to fight off the infection more effectively.

Dosage Information

Adults: Take 500 mg every 8 hours (three times a day). In children or for milder infections, the dose may be adjusted by the doctor. The full course of medication should always be completed, even if symptoms improve early. Stopping too soon can cause the infection to return or become resistant to antibiotics.

How Fast Does It Work?

Cloracef Forte 500 usually starts to work within 24 to 48 hours. You may begin to feel better in a day or two, but it’s important to keep taking the capsules until the prescription is finished to make sure the infection is completely gone.
