Introduction
Acuclav LB Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract in children. It can kill the bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and has a lesser chance of causing side effects like diarrhea.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Acuclav LB Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has three active agents: Amoxycillin, clavulanic acid, and lactobacillus. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves the special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. While these two medicines treat your child's infection, they may upset your child's digestive system by killing healthy gut bacteria due to the prolonged intake of this medicine. The third agent lactobacillus helps prevent side effects such as diarrhea by restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in your child's gut.
Quick Tips
Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Acuclav LB Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Never share your child's medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Never self-medicate at home. Always consult the doctor before giving any medicine to your child. Do not give Acuclav LB Dry Syrup to treat the common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Stop Acuclav LB Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
