Introduction
Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
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
Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. 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. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medications be taken with Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT?
Yes, other medications can sometimes interact with Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which laboratory tests may my child undergo while taking Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to track your child's condition.
Can I give a higher dose of Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT than recommended to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an increased severity of symptoms, consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue giving the medicine for the prescribed duration as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT cause diarrhea?
Yes, Advent 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties that kill harmful bacteria and affect helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult with a doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any medication without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
No, most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, administering antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
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 necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require an expert's attention.
