Introduction
Auglink C 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. You can give Auglink C Forte 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 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 Auglink C 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 Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Auglink C Forte 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

Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup. Before giving any medication to your child, consult their doctor for guidance.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
If treatment is prolonged, a doctor might regularly monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition periodically.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, please consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you have finished the complete course of treatment. Even if you feel better, it is crucial to continue the treatment as it may still be delivering beneficial effects.
Can the use of Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Auglink C Forte Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea. This medication works by eliminating harmful bacteria. Additionally, it might impact the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor. Do not give your child any other medicine without a doctor's guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral colds do not cause secondary bacterial infections, it is crucial to avoid self-treating with antibiotics. 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. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, often lasting 7-10 days. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult their doctor.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical attention. These side effects are rare but require expert assessment.
