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

It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Apimox Forte Dry Syrup. Additionally, check with their doctor before giving any new medicine to your child, as antibiotics can sometimes interact with other substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Apimox Forte Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Apimox Forte Dry Syrup usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Apimox Forte Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Apimox Forte Dry Syrup, your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition is being properly managed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Apimox Forte Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Apimox Forte Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medicine unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms seem improved. The infection may still be present and require continued treatment.
Can the use of Apimox Forte Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Apimox Forte Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria, affecting the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or signs of dehydration appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Consult with your doctor to determine if antibiotics are necessary.
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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions, gastrointestinal infections, or liver damage symptoms such as breathing problems, skin rashes, diarrhea, weakness, paleness, or vomiting.
