Introduction
Amox C k@re Oral Suspension 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
Amox C k@re Oral Suspension 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.

Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Amox C k@re Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amox C k@re Oral Suspension?
Amox C k@re Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Amox C k@re Oral Suspension, discuss all medications your child is taking with their doctor. Additionally, consult with your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amox C k@re Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause negative reactions in children who have recently been immunized. However, it is essential to ensure your child recovers from their illness before administration of the vaccine. After recovery, administer the vaccine as advised by your healthcare professional.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amox C k@re Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition. This is done for proper monitoring of their overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amox C k@re Oral Suspension to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than the recommended amount may increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amox C k@re Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is completed. Even if you notice improvement in your child's condition, continued treatment ensures its effectiveness and complete eradication of infection.
Can Amox C k@re Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amox C k@re Oral Suspension can lead to diarrhea. This is because it eliminates harmful bacteria and may disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in the child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not trigger bacterial infections. It is important to note that antibiotics are only necessary when a secondary bacterial infection arises. Consult with your child’s doctor for guidance before using antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
While it is normal to observe thicker mucus in the nose during a common cold, changes like yellow or green color indicate an illness and may be caused by mucus thickening as the body fights off the virus.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's healthcare provider immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These are serious side effects requiring immediate professional attention.
