Introduction
Amoxylic 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. You can give Amoxylic Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

How it works
Amoxylic 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 Amoxylic 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 Amoxylic Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amoxylic Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Amoxylic Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Amoxylic Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amoxylic Dry Syrup?
Amoxylic Dry Syrup may interact with certain medications. It is essential to discuss all medications your child is taking with their doctor before starting this medication. Additionally, always consult your child's physician before administering any additional medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amoxylic Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just been immunized. However, it is important to prioritize the child's well-being and avoid vaccination until after full recovery from any illnesses. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amoxylic Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests for children on prolonged antibiotic treatment to monitor their overall health. This is a standard measure when administering extended antibiotics.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amoxylic Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving an excessive dose of this medication could increase the risk of unwanted side effects. If your child experiences symptoms worsening, reach out to their doctor for a reassessment.
Can I stop giving Amoxylic Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medication without completing the full prescribed course, even if your child feels better. There is still a chance of the infection lingering and the medicine might continue to have beneficial effects.
Can the use of Amoxylic Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amoxylic Dry Syrup may lead to diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that eliminates harmful bacteria. In addition to this, this medication can affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and induce diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If it persists or shows signs of dehydration (less urination, dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), seek advice from your doctor before administering any medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viral infections are often the cause of common colds. Antibiotic use should only be initiated after a medical professional has examined and diagnosed the condition.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
While yellow or green mucus in the nose is not always indicative of a bacterial infection, it can be a common symptom during a common cold. The usual course for colds involves symptoms lasting 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 life-threatening allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are serious side effects and need expert medical care.
