Introduction
Casamox 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
Casamox 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 Casamox 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 Casamox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Casamox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Casamox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Casamox 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 Casamox CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Casamox CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their pediatrician before administering any other medication to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Casamox CV Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they have recovered from the illness before receiving a vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Casamox CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Casamox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose than prescribed can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Casamox CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Continue administering the full course of treatment as prescribed by the pediatrician, even if your child feels better. Stopping the medication too soon may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Casamox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, this antibiotic can cause diarrhea due to its effect on both harmful and beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences persistent or severe diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult with a doctor if symptoms persist.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Use antibiotics only under the guidance of your child's pediatrician, as unnecessary antibiotic use can lead to side effects and increased risk of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
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 antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek emergency care if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (persistent diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms such as weakness, paleness, and vomiting.
