Introduction
Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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.
Directions for Use

How it works
Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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 Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
It is important to inform your doctor about all medications your child is taking before starting Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet. Also, check with your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it is best to delay giving vaccines until your child has recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function to assess your child's condition during extended treatment with Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than the recommended amount for this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult with their doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication without complete treatment. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue administering the medication according to the prescribed course even if you notice a decline in symptoms.
Can the use of Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Avenclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet can induce diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria. Additionally, it may affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. Contact your doctor if diarrhea persists or if you notice any signs of dehydration (such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine). Do not administer any other medication without consulting a healthcare professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not arise as a consequence of viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase your child's risk of side effects. Always consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus tends to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green as part of the natural process. Symptoms often resolve within 7-10 days.
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 (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) you should immediately contact your doctor. While rare, these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
