Introduction
Caremox-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
Caremox-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 Caremox-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 Caremox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Caremox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Caremox-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Caremox-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 Caremox-CV Dry Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Caremox-CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any other medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Caremox-CV Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Caremox-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Caremox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice an increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Caremox-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue the medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured.
Can the use of Caremox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Caremox-CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult a doctor if diarrhea persists or is accompanied by signs of dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections, and using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
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 require antibiotic treatment, as it can be a normal part of a common cold. 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 serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting).
