Cefaclor, sold under the brand name Ceclor among others, is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, middle ear infections, strep throat, cellulitis, and urinary tract infections.[4] It is taken by mouth with food.[1] It may be used in children as young as a month old.[1]

Common side effects include rash, diarrhea, vaginitis, nausea, and headache.[4] Other side effects may include anxiety, low red blood cells, joint pains, allergic reactions, jaundice, and swollen glands.[1] It is not known to cause harm in pregnancy and may be used when breastfeeding.[1] It is a second-generation cephalosporin.[3]

Cefaclor was patented in 1975 and approved for medical use in 1979.[5][6] In the United Kingdom, a course of treatment generally costs the NHS less than £10, as of 2021.[1] This amount in the United States costs about 22 USD.[7]
