== Medical uses==
Cefaclor belongs to the family of antibiotics known as the ] (cefalosporins). The cephalosporins are broad-spectrum ] that are used for the treatment of ], ], ], biliary-tract infections, ], and urinary-tract infections. The pharmacology of the cephalosporins is similar to that of the ], excretion being principally renal. Cephalosporins penetrate the ] poorly unless the meninges are inflamed; ] is a more suitable cephalosporin than cefaclor for infections of the ], e.g. ]. Cefaclor is active against many ], including both ] and ] organisms.

===Spectrum of activity===
Cefaclor is frequently used against bacteria responsible for causing skin infections, otitis media, urinary tract infections, and others.
Cefaclor has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections: Gram positive aerobes - Staphylococci (including coagulase-positive, coagulase-negative, and penicillinase-producing strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A β-hemolytic streptococci).

The following represents MIC susceptibility data for a few medically significant microorganisms.
* ''Haemophilus influenzae'': 0.03 μg/mL - 128 μg/mL
* ''Staphylcoccus aureus'': 0.6 μg/mL - 128 μg/mL
* ''Streptococcus pyogenes'': 0.06 μg/mL - 4 μg/mL

The principal ] of the cephalosporins is hypersensitivity. Up to about 10% of penicillin-sensitive patients will also be allergic to the cephalosporins, depending on the cephalosporin generation. Allergic reactions may present as, for example, rashes, ] (itching), ], ]-like reactions with rashes, fever and ], and ]. The frequency and severity of ]-like reactions in children has led researchers to question its role in pediatric illness.<ref>{{cite journal |author=King BA, Geelhoed GC |title=Adverse skin and joint reactions associated with oral antibiotics in children: the role of cefaclor in serum sickness-like reactions |journal=J Paediatr Child Health |volume=39 |issue=9 |pages=677–81 |year=2003 |month=December |pmid=14629499 |url=http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/resolve/openurl?genre=article&sid=nlm:pubmed&issn=1034-4810&date=2003&volume=39&issue=9&spage=677 |doi=10.1046/j.1440-1754.2003.00267.x}}</ref> ] Other side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g. diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal discomfort, disturbances in liver enzymes, transient ] and cholestatic jaundice), ], and ].

The principal ] of the cephalosporins is hypersensitivity. Penicillin-sensitive patients may also be allergic to the cephalosporins, depending on the side chain and it's relation to the penicillin allergy. Most patients with penicillin allergy can tolerate the majority of cephalosporins without allergic reactions. The previous percentage of 10% cross reactivity rates are a gross overestimation.<ref>Zagursky RJ, Pichichero ME.

==Cefaclor CD== ===Probenecid===
Excretion of ] is reduced by ] (resulting in increased concentrations of drug in the ]).{{cn|date=March 2023}}
Cefaclor CD is a ] form of Cefaclor which releases the drug to the body over a longer period of time, which means that doses can be taken less frequently, with steadier levels of the drug in the bloodstream. Sustained release is useful with Cefaclor as it has a very short half-life.

===Antacids===
Absorption of cefaclor is reduced by ]. Therefore antacids should not be taken right before or at the same time as cefaclor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.drugs.com/mtm/ceclor.html|title = Ceclor Uses, Side Effects & Warnings | work = Drugs.com }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Satterwhite JH, Cerimele BJ, Coleman DL, Hatcher BL, Kisicki J, DeSante KA | title = Pharmacokinetics of cefaclor AF: effects of age, antacids and H2-receptor antagonists | journal = Postgraduate Medical Journal | volume = 68 | pages = S3–S9 | year = 1992 | issue = Suppl 3 | pmid = 1287615 }}</ref>
