INDICATIONS AS 7 AUGUST 1996: Ceclor CD is indicated for the treatment of the following types of infections caused by susceptible organisms, in adults and children aged 12years or older: Acute bronchitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis; Upper respiratory infections, including phryngitis, tonsillitis and acute bacterial sinusitis; Community-acquired pneumonia of mild to moderate severity (excluding atypical pneumonia); Symptomatic lower urinary tact infections, including cystitis; Skin and skin structure infections. NOTE: 1. Penicillin is the usual drug of choice in the treatment and prevention of streptococcal infections, including the prophylaxis of rheumatic fever. Ceclor CD is generally effective in the eradication of streptococci from the oropharynx; however, substantial data establishing the efficacy of Ceclor CD in the subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever are not available. 2. Bacteriological studies to determine the causative organism and its susceptibility to cefaclor should be performed. Therapy may be started while awaiting the results of these studies. Once these results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
