Introduction

Addclav DS Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine designed to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. While effective, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying or causing another infection. Side effects may include a bitter taste, and in rare cases, an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties, which require immediate medical attention.

Administer Addclav DS Dry Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.

Addclav DS Dry Syrup contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making this combination effective against various infections.

Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Addclav DS Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Addclav DS Dry Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Addclav DS Dry Syrup to treat 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. Check the expiry date before giving Addclav DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Addclav DS Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
