Introduction
Carimox 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. You can give Carimox CV Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. Stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose. Carimox CV Dry Syrup may cause vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy. These side effects should diminish on their own. But, in case they persist or start bothering your child, you must not delay speaking to your child’s doctor. Share your child’s entire medical history with the doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information will assist the doctor in making dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Carimox CV Dry Syrup is to be taken with food.
How it works
Carimox 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. 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, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Carimox 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 Carimox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Carimox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Carimox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Carimox 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 Carimox CV Dry Syrup?
Carimox CV Dry 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 Carimox CV Dry Syrup. Always consult a healthcare professional before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Carimox CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with the ingredients of vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccines until they recover from any illness before getting a vaccine. After your child feels better, a doctor can decide if they are able to receive a vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Carimox CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order tests like kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Carimox CV Dry Syrup.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Carimox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, please consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Carimox CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the entire course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue giving the medication as prescribed by the doctor to ensure it continues to be beneficial.
Can the use of Carimox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Carimox CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body. It can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child’s stomach and cause diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids like water or other beverages. Consult a doctor if the diarrhea persists and notice any signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medication to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacteria don't follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, use antibiotics only after consulting 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 doesn't indicate that antibiotics are necessary. During a common cold, the mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7 to 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), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). While rare, these are serious side effects requiring expert attention.
