Introduction
Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension 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
Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension to my child?
No, administering a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course is complete, even if your child feels better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared.
Can the use of Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Barclav PD 200mg/28.5mg Suspension may cause diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria and can also affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist and dehydration signs appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics should be used only after consulting with your child's doctor as they can increase the risk of side effects.
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 mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color, but symptoms often 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 (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting).
