title: A pharmacological study of cefaclor in the newborn infant.
abstract: The absorption and excretion of cefaclor were studied in 10 newborn infants. A mean peak serum concentration of 7.7 microgram/ml was achieved at 1 hour after an oral dose of 7.5 mg/kg. It is concluded that cefaclor is a well absorbed and tolerated cephalosporin for use in newborn infants.
