Introduction
Asclavmox CL 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
Asclavmox CL 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 Asclavmox CL 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 Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Asclavmox CL 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 Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup?
It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications or substances your child is taking before starting Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup. Always consult with your child's healthcare professional regarding potential interactions and appropriate medication combinations.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines. However, it is advisable to postpone vaccination until your child recovers from any illness for optimal efficacy and safety.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor might monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged treatment with this medication to assess your child's overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup to my child?
It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage as exceeding it may increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences heightened symptoms, contact your child's doctor for a re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Abruptly discontinuing treatment without consulting a healthcare professional could be detrimental. It is important to continue administering this medication until the complete course of treatment, as it might still provide beneficial effects.
Can the use of Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Asclavmox CL Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. This is due to its antibacterial properties that affect both harmful and helpful bacteria in the child's gut. Encourage your child to consume ample fluids if experiencing diarrhea. Consult with your doctor if diarrhea persists or signs of dehydration (e.g., reduced urine frequency with dark, strong-smelling urine) are observed. Avoid administering any additional medications without consulting a healthcare professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections don't lead to bacterial infections in the body as they typically resolve on their own. Using antibiotics in viral infections might even lead to side effects due to antibiotic resistance and can exacerbate the situation. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor before using any medication.
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 does not automatically indicate the need for antibiotics in a common cold. The thickness and color of mucus can change during viral infections. If symptoms persist, your child may have a common cold. In such cases, seeking medical advice is advisable.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these serious side effects require prompt expert intervention.
