How it works
Amvulac Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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.

Can the use of Amvulac Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amvulac Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria.

If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration (reduced urination with dark-colored and foul-smelling urine), consult a doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most commonly, bacterial infections don’t follow viral infections. It is crucial to use antibiotics only after consulting your child's doctor in case of a bacterial infection.
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 necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, nasal mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are serious and require expert medical attention.
