How it works
Auger Duo 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Auger Duo Dry Syrup?
Auger Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting treatment with Auger Duo Dry Syrup. They can advise on potential interactions and necessary adjustments.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Auger Duo Dry Syrup?
In general, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received them. However, it's important to note that children taking antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they fully recover from the underlying illness. Once your child is feeling better, their doctor can advise on when and if vaccination is safe.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Auger Duo Dry Syrup long-term?
Under prolonged therapy, regular monitoring of kidney and liver function should be performed as a precaution to ensure your child's well-being. This might involve blood tests for these organs.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Auger Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving more than the recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects and complications. If you notice any worsening symptoms, please contact your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Auger Duo Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication until the full course of treatment is completed. The infection may improve before it's completely cured. Hence, continue administering the medication as prescribed by your doctor.
Can Auger Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Auger Duo Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties. It might also affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink fluids frequently if they experience diarrhea. If the symptoms persist or you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult your doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most times, bacterial infections do not follow viral ones. In fact, treating a viral cold with antibiotics can increase the likelihood of side effects. 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 does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color to yellow or green, though this usually resolves within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While these side effects are uncommon, they are potentially serious and require expert intervention.
