Introduction
Benoxy-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
Benoxy-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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Benoxy-CV 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. Never give Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup?
Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup can interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting treatment with Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup. Always consult a doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup?
Typically, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher-than-recommended dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may be fully cured despite improved symptoms. Therefore, continue administering the medication for the prescribed duration.
Can the use of Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Benoxy-CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This antibiotic kills harmful bacteria but can also affect helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult a doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any medication without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
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 that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require expert attention.
