How it works
Amoxmed Duo 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Amoxmed Duo Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amoxmed Duo Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Amoxmed Duo Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amoxmed Duo Syrup?
Amoxmed Duo Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting treatment, inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking. It is crucial to consult your child’s healthcare provider before administering any new medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amoxmed Duo Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children already receiving treatment. However, it is important to note that vaccinations should be postponed until the illness has been treated and your child recovers. Once your child feels better, a vaccine can be administered. Consult your child's doctor for specific instructions.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amoxmed Duo Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged antibiotic therapy, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amoxmed Duo Syrup to my child?
It is essential not to exceed the recommended dosage. Higher doses can increase the risk of side effects. If you see any worsening symptoms, contact your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amoxmed Duo Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is not recommended to discontinue treatment without completing the full course of medication. Even if you or your child are feeling better, it's crucial to follow the prescribed dosage until the end to ensure complete eradication of the bacteria.
Can the use of Amoxmed Duo Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amoxmed Duo Syrup can trigger diarrhea. This is due to its role as an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and impacts the balance of beneficial bacteria in the child's digestive system.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most commonly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. However, certain circumstances can create a favorable environment for bacterial growth if there is a risk of secondary infection. Always seek professional advice from your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Changes in nasal mucus color, such as turning yellow or green, do not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. This change can occur during the common cold as mucus thickens and changes its color.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention in case of severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (severe diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are crucial to address promptly with a healthcare professional.
