How it works
Amoxylav CV 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 Amoxylav CV 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 Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup?
Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Before starting Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup, tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking. It's also important to consult your doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from their illness. If your child is feeling better, the vaccine can be given after recovery.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged treatment, regular checkups with blood and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition may be necessary.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medicine can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences a worsening of symptoms, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication before finishing the complete treatment course, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue the prescribed dosage for the full duration.
Can the use of Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amoxylav CV Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication might affect the beneficial bacteria in your child’s stomach and trigger diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or fluids. If you notice any signs of dehydration, such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor before administering other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most commonly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. It is important to understand that giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, it's typical for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms generally last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects warrant expert medical intervention.
