How it works
Athoxyclav 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 may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Athoxyclav Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Stop Athoxyclav 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 Athoxyclav Dry Syrup?
Athoxyclav Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It's important to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Athoxyclav Dry Syrup. Check with your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Athoxyclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics do not typically interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, it is recommended to wait until after your child has recovered from an illness before getting vaccinated. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Athoxyclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Over time, doctors may monitor kidney and liver function during long-term treatment with Athoxyclav Dry Syrup. This helps ensure your child's overall well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Athoxyclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dose exceeding the recommended amount for Athoxyclav Dry Syrup can increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for an assessment.
Can I stop giving Athoxyclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not cease giving this medicine to your child unless you have completed the full course of treatment. The symptoms may improve before complete eradication of the infection. Therefore, continue taking the medication for the prescribed duration as it might still be beneficial.
Can the use of Athoxyclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Athoxyclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it works by killing harmful bacteria. Additionally, the medication may disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience this symptom. If their diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urination, dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses are the most frequent cause of common colds. Antibiotics do not target viruses; therefore, they should be avoided unless there is clear evidence of a bacterial infection and your child's doctor prescribes them.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
While it is normal for the mucus to thicken during a common cold and change from clear to yellow or green, this does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. It is important to note that these changes are temporary and will typically resolve within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical care if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require medical attention.
