Description

Cefaclor is an oral capsule prescription drug that is used to treat bacterial infections. Many physicians prescribe Cefaclor for the following infections:

• Urinary tract

• Throat

• Tonsils

• Lung

• Ear

• Skin

• Respiratory

Like most medicines, there are side effects such as diarrhea, vaginal yeast infection, and thrush. There are more severe side effects that can cause one to have an allergic reaction. Possible symptoms include:

• Hives

• Trouble breathing

• Skin problems such as rashes

• Itchiness

• Swelling of the tongue and throat

If penicillin antibiotics have caused you to have an allergic reaction, you might be at an elevated risk of reacting to Cefaclor.

A positive allergy test result should be discussed with your physician.
