How it works
Avclav 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.
Quick Tips

Frequently asked questions
Can other medications be given simultaneously with Avclav Duo Dry Syrup?
Avclav Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Avclav Duo Dry Syrup, and check with their doctor before administering any additional medication.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Avclav Duo Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from the illness before receiving a vaccination.
What laboratory tests may my child undergo while on long-term treatment with Avclav Duo Dry Syrup?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Avclav Duo Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, administering a higher dose than prescribed can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Avclav Duo Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms seem to be improving. The infection may still require treatment, and continued use of the medicine can help ensure its effectiveness.
Can Avclav Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Avclav Duo Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties and potential impact on beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, administering antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
What does yellow-green mucus from my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily require antibiotic treatment. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate immediate medical attention is needed?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require prompt attention.
