Introduction
Anrimox Clav 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 Anrimox Clav 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.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup is to be taken with food.

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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup?
Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup. Consulting your child’s doctor regarding medication administration is also important.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it's recommended to avoid vaccinating your child until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered as appropriate by the doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
When treatment is prolonged, the doctor may routinely monitor kidney and liver function to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage can significantly increase the risk of side effects. If you experience increased symptoms, contact your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue the medication unless your child completes the full course, even if they feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured, so continuing treatment for the recommended duration is essential.
Can the use of Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Anrimox Clav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as it works by killing harmful bacteria. In addition to this, the medication may also affect your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. Please consult your doctor if symptoms persist or if you notice signs of dehydration like dark-colored and strong-smelling urine with reduced urination frequency.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral ones. In fact, giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of adverse effects. Therefore, only use antibiotics after consulting 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 doesn't automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green as symptoms progress. The symptoms typically 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 (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert intervention.
