Introduction
Auglink C 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 Auglink C 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.

How it works
Auglink C 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 Auglink C 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 Auglink C Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Auglink C Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Auglink C Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Auglink C 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 Auglink C Dry Syrup?
Auglink C Dry Syrup may interact with certain medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Auglink C Dry Syrup. Consult your doctor for guidance on medication interactions.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Auglink C Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received vaccinations. However, it is crucial to wait until your child recovers from any illness before administering any medication. Once their symptoms subside, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Auglink C Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
In situations where treatment is extended for prolonged periods, periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function will be conducted by your doctor to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Auglink C Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dosage of this medication. Doing so could increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, please consult their doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Auglink C Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Stopping Auglink C Dry Syrup prematurely without completing the full course of treatment is not recommended. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eradicated. Therefore, continue the medication for the prescribed duration, as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Auglink C Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Auglink C Dry Syrup can potentially cause diarrhea. This is because it acts by killing bacteria that are harmful to the body. Moreover, antibiotics often affect the good bacteria in a child's digestive system, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink fluids or other liquids. In case of persistent diarrhea and signs of dehydration such as infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor. Please avoid giving any medication without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections are not associated with the development of bacterial infections. It is important to note that antibiotics should only be prescribed when there is a confirmed bacterial infection, as using them for viral infections can lead to side effects. Consult your doctor before prescribing any medications.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
A change in the color of nasal discharge during a common cold, from clear to yellow or green, does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During viral colds, the mucus thickens and changes color as part of the body's natural response.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal distress (severe diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but can be serious. Always consult a medical professional in such cases.
