How it works
Avenclav 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 become resistant or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Avenclav 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.

Can the use of Avenclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Avenclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria in your child's body. Additionally, the medication may disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in their stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult your doctor if the diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not administer any other medications without consulting your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?

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, the mucus often changes color and becomes thicker. Symptoms typically last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) - immediately call your child's doctor. These side effects are not common but require expert medical attention.
