3-chloro-7-D-(2-phenylglycinamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid
monohydrate. The molecular formula for cefaclor is C
H
ClN
O

weight is 385.82.
Each capsule contains cefaclor monohydrate equivalent to 250 mg (0.68

anhydrous cefaclor. The capsules also contain black iron oxide,
croscarmellose sodium, FD & C Red

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Cefaclor is well absorbed after oral administration to fasting
subjects. Total absorption is the same
whether the drug is given with or without food; however, when it is
taken with food, the peak
concentration achieved is 50% to 75% of that observed when the drug is
administered to fasting
subjects and generally appears from three fourths to 1 hour later.
Following administration of 250-mg,
500-mg, and 1-g doses to fasting subjects, average peak serum levels
of approximately 7, 13, and 23
mcg/mL respectively were obtained within 30 to 60 minutes.
Approximately 60% to 85% of the drug is
excreted unchanged in the urine within 8 hours, the greater portion
being excreted within the first 2
hours. During this 8-hour period, peak urine concentrations following
the 250-mg, 500-mg, and 1-g
doses were approximately 600, 900, and 1,900 mcg/mL, respectively. The
serum half-life in normal
subjects is 0.6 to 0.9 hour. In patients with reduced renal function,
the serum half-life of cefaclor is
slightly prolonged. I
