Ceclor 50mg/ml Drop 15ml contains cefaclor, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. It works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation, helping stop susceptible bacteria from growing and multiplying.

The liquid drop formulation may be convenient for infants and young children when cefaclor treatment is prescribed and an accurately measured liquid dose is required. The appropriate dose depends on the child's age, body weight, kidney function, and type and severity of infection and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Ceclor should only be used for bacterial infections for which an antibiotic is appropriate. It does not treat viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza.
