ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other
β‐
lactam antibiotics, cefaclor owes its antibacterial activity to its
ability to bind to and
inhibit the action of certain bacterial cell wall synthetic enzymes,
the penicillin-binding proteins.
Cefaclor is well absorbed after oral administration to fed and fasted
subjects. Following doses of
250 mg, 500 mg, and 1 g to fasted subjects, average peak serum levels
of approximately 7, 13,
and 23 mg/L respectively were obtained within 0.5 to 1.0 hour. Total
absorption is the same
whether the drug is given before or after meals. However, when it is
taken after food, the peak
concentration achieved is 50% to 75% of that observed when the drug is
administered to fasted
subjects and is delayed by 0.8 to 1 hour. Approximately 25 percent of
cefaclor is bound to human
plasma.
Within 8 hours, 60% to 85% of the drug is excreted unchanged in the
urine, 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 1900 mg/L
respectively.

The serum half-life in normal subjects is 0.6 to 0.9 hours. In
patients with reduced renal function,
the serum half-life of cefaclor is slightly prolonged. In those with
complete absence of renal
function, the plasma half-life of the intact molecule is 2.3 to 2.8
hours. Excretion pathways in
patients with markedly impaired renal function have not been
determined. Hemodialysis shortens
the half-life by 25% to 30%.
Probenecid administered with a 500 mg dose of cefaclor increased the
peak serum concentratio
