Abstract
Cefaclor was used as a therapeutic agent in beta-haemolytic streptococcal throat infections in children in 3 separate studies. Although the numbers of patients in these ongoing studies are too small for valid statistical analysis, cefaclor was found to be (1) an effective agent in a dose of 20 mg/kg/day, (2) as effective as phenoxymethyl penicillin at identical dosages, and (3) equally effective at doses administered twice daily or thrice daily. It was well accepted by the patients, had minimal side effects, and produced no adverse effects in the peripheral blood.Entities:
