Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as ACL-Duo Dry Syrup?
It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting ACL-Duo Dry Syrup. Additionally, seek guidance from a healthcare professional regarding any potential interactions between these medications.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with ACL-Duo Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them. However, it's recommended to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from the illness if they are currently on antibiotics.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking ACL-Duo Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests may be conducted during prolonged therapy to monitor your child's overall health. These assessments help ensure the effectiveness of treatment and detect potential complications.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of ACL-Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
It is strongly discouraged to exceed the recommended dosage for this medication. Elevating the dosage can significantly increase the risk of adverse effects and may be unnecessary.
Can I stop giving ACL-Duo Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not cease the administration of ACL-Duo Dry Syrup without consulting your doctor. Even if symptoms improve, it is vital to complete the full course as the medication may still be exhibiting beneficial effects.
Can the use of ACL-Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, ACL-Duo Dry Syrup can sometimes trigger diarrhea. It is crucial to understand that this medication contains antibiotics that combat bacteria. Moreover, it may affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult their doctor if symptoms persist or if dehydration occurs (indicated by a decrease in urination frequency with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine). Do not administer any other medication without first seeking professional guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses typically cause viral infections. It is important to note that antibiotics should only be prescribed and administered by a healthcare provider when there is a clear need for them. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During common colds, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color (from clear to yellow or green). These symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek prompt medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver problems (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These symptoms are rare but require immediate medical intervention from a qualified healthcare professional.
