Introduction
Avenza 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.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Avenza 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Avenza Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Avenza Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Avenza Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Avenza Dry Syrup?
It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before administering any other medication alongside Avenza Dry Syrup, as they may interact. Always inform your child's doctor about all medications or supplements your child is taking before starting Avenza Dry Syrup. It is crucial to seek their guidance for safe and appropriate administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Avenza Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients of vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it is recommended that your child's doctor advises you to postpone vaccinations until they recover from any illness caused by the use of antibiotics.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Avenza Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor might monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's well-being during prolonged therapy with Avenza Dry Syrup.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Avenza Dry Syrup to my child?
It is unsafe to exceed the recommended dosage of this medicine. Increasing the dosage can potentially heighten the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, it is crucial to contact their doctor for an assessment and evaluation.
Can I stop giving Avenza Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication without consulting your healthcare provider until the full course of treatment is completed. It's essential to continue administering the medicine for the entire prescribed duration even if your child shows improvement in symptoms. This ensures complete eradication of the infection.
Can the use of Avenza Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, there is a possibility of experiencing diarrhea while taking Avenza Dry Syrup, as it acts by killing harmful bacteria. In addition, this medication can also alter beneficial bacteria within your child's digestive system, leading to diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink adequate fluids and contact their doctor if it persists or indicates dehydration signs like dark-colored urine and infrequent urination.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses are usually responsible for causing common colds. While bacteria may sometimes colonize the respiratory tract of a person suffering from a cold, they do not usually play a direct role in causing secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics are not always necessary in such cases.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. It's typical for the mucus to thicken during a common cold and change from clear to yellow or green. The symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects and require prompt medical intervention.
