Introduction
Bgclav 228.5 Oral 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
Bgclav 228.5 Oral 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.

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 Bgclav 228.5 Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.

Can Bgclav 228.5 Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Bgclav 228.5 Oral Suspension can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is because it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria in the body.

What signs indicate my child might need immediate medical attention?
