Introduction
Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup 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
Amkrypnate Duo 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 Amkrypnate Duo 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 Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup to your child. Stop Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.
Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other substances.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before receiving a vaccine.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if their symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continuing the medicine may still be beneficial.
Can Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amkrypnate Duo Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because the antibiotic kills harmful bacteria, which can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, consult your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose 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 color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require medical attention.
