Introduction
B Cillin CV 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
B Cillin CV 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 B Cillin CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give B Cillin CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving B Cillin CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as B Cillin CV Dry Syrup?
It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications or substances your child is taking before starting B Cillin CV Dry Syrup. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child, as potential interactions might exist.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with B Cillin CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients of vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after receiving a vaccine. However, it's crucial to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from the underlying illness.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking B Cillin CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
In cases of prolonged therapy, the doctor may consider monitoring your child's kidney and liver function periodically to ensure their well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of B Cillin CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage can significantly increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an increase in symptom severity, consult their doctor for a re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving B Cillin CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Absolutely not! It is essential to finish the entire course of treatment even after symptoms subside, as it might still be beneficial. Symptoms may improve before the infection clears completely.
Can the use of B Cillin CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, B Cillin CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its nature as an antibiotic. It can also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or fluids if they experience this. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration like reduced urination, dark-colored urine with a strong odor, contact your doctor immediately.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Generally, bacterial infections do not follow viral colds. However, it is important to remember that using antibiotics in a viral infection can increase the risks of side effects. Seek advice from your child's doctor before administering any medication.
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 bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change its color from clear to yellow or green. These changes are often temporary and typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek urgent medical attention from their doctor. While rare, these are serious side effects and require professional evaluation.
