How it works
Amovid 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medications be given concurrently with Amovid Duo Dry Syrup?
Amovid Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before initiating treatment with Amovid Duo Dry Syrup, and consult with the doctor before administering any additional medication.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Amovid Duo Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should delay vaccination until they recover from their illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What laboratory tests may my child undergo while on long-term Amovid Duo Dry Syrup treatment?
Prolonged therapy may necessitate periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I administer a higher dose than recommended for Amovid Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose than the recommended amount can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop administering Amovid Duo Dry Syrup to my child once symptoms have improved?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course of therapy is complete, even if symptoms appear to be alleviated. The infection may still be present, and continued treatment may be necessary for a cure.
Can Amovid Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amovid Duo Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which kill harmful bacteria but also affect beneficial stomach bacteria. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration, such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult with a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
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.
What does yellow or green mucus in my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose during a common cold is normal and typically resolves on its own within 7-10 days, without the need for antibiotic treatment.
Is there any sign that indicates immediate medical attention is necessary?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt expert attention.
