No common side effects listed.

Bactoclav Drops 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.

Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Bactoclav Drops. 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. Stop Bactoclav Drops immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
