Function and Efficacy

This product is a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic. Its activity against penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, group A hemolytic streptococci, viridans streptococci and Staphylococcus epidermidis is the same as that of cefadroxil, and its antibacterial effect against non-enzyme-producing Staphylococcus aureus and pneumococci is 2 to 4 times stronger than that of cefadroxil. Its activity against Gram-negative bacilli, including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, is stronger than that of cefadroxil, and is similar to that of cefadroxil. Its activity against Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella and Shigella is stronger than that of cefadroxil. 2.9 to 8 mg/L of this product can inhibit all Haemophilus influenzae, including strains resistant to ampicillin. Moraxella catarrhalis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are very sensitive to this product. Indole-positive Proteus, Serratia, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are all resistant to this product. The mechanism of action of this product is to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: The efficacy and safety of this product for infants under one month have not yet been established. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Use with caution in pregnant and lactating women. Precautions for the elderly: According to literature reports, compared with healthy adult subjects under 45 years old, 40-50% of healthy elderly subjects (over 65 years old) who took 750 mg of cefaclor alone had high AUC and 20% had low renal clearance. These differences are mainly caused by age-related functional renal diseases. In clinical studies, when elderly patients took the recommended adult dose, the clinical effect and safety were similar to those of adult patients, and the doses taken by elderly patients were no different. Therefore, unless the elderly patients are weak, malnourished, and have severe renal impairment, there is generally no need to adjust the dose.
