It is used to treat several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, skin and soft tissue. This medication kills bacteria by disrupting the formation of their cell walls, causing them to burst and die, which helps clear the infection and alleviate symptoms. It may cause side effects such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, vaginal itching, fever, and rash in some cases. Most of these side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Alclor Suspension to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Alclor Suspension.
