How it works
Alyclav 228.5 Dry Syrup 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.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Alyclav 228.5 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 Alyclav 228.5 Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor.

Can the use of Alyclav 228.5 Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Alyclav 228.5 Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and disrupts the balance of helpful bacteria in the child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?

The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
