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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Brimox CV Syrup?
Brimox CV Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Brimox CV Syrup. Additionally, consulting with a medical professional is crucial before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Brimox CV Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and are unlikely to cause adverse reactions. However, vaccination should be delayed until your child recovers from the illness before initiating any treatment.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Brimox CV Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function is recommended for long-term therapy with this medicine to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Brimox CV Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dosage of Brimox CV Syrup. Increased doses may increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Brimox CV Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue Brimox CV Syrup unless the complete course of treatment is finished. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely eradicated. Therefore, continue the prescribed dosage until the full course is completed.
Can the use of Brimox CV Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Brimox CV Syrup may induce diarrhea as it contains an antibiotic that eliminates harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medicine can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and contribute to diarrhea. Encourage your child to consume ample fluids if they experience diarrhea. If symptoms persist or signs of dehydration appear (decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor before administering any other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While antibiotics are not typically required for viral infections, using them improperly can increase the risk of side effects. In most cases, bacterial infections do not develop after viral illnesses like a cold. If your child experiences a bacterial infection, a doctor should evaluate and prescribe appropriate treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose during a common cold is generally normal. The mucus can thicken and change color over time. While it is usually not an indication of bacterial infection, symptoms often subside after 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties or skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), and liver damage (signs of weakness, paleness, or vomiting). Though rare, these potential side effects require immediate medical attention.
