Introduction
Amvulac Duo 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.
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
Amvulac 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. 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 Amvulac Duo 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 Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Amvulac Duo 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 Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup?
Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting this medication, inform your child's healthcare provider about any other medications your child is taking. Always check with your child’s doctor before administering any medicine to them.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or trigger a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it’s crucial to note that children taking antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged treatment, your child’s doctor may order blood tests for kidney and liver function to monitor their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage can increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child’s symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for a re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the full course of treatment. Even if you feel better, it’s crucial to continue taking the medicine as it may still be delivering beneficial effects.
Can the use of Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amvulac Duo Dry Syrup can potentially cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic nature which kills harmful bacteria and also disrupts the balance of good bacteria in your child’s digestive system. In case of diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. It's vital to consult a doctor if you observe any signs of dehydration like decreased urine frequency with dark, strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not directly lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used under the guidance of your child's doctor after consulting with them for a specific diagnosis and treatment plan.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge during a common cold is not necessarily indicative of a bacterial infection. While it's normal for the mucus to thicken up and change color (from clear to yellow or green) during a cold, this usually passes within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) call their doctor immediately. It’s important to seek expert medical care in these situations even though they are rare.
