Introduction
Caudimox 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
Caudimox 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 Caudimox 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 Caudimox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Caudimox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Caudimox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Caudimox 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
What other medications can be taken with Caudimox CV Dry Syrup?
Caudimox CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It's essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Caudimox CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with the doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Caudimox CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Caudimox CV Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they recover from their illness before receiving vaccinations.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Caudimox CV Dry Syrup long-term?
During prolonged therapy with Caudimox CV Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition is stable.
Can I give a higher dose of Caudimox CV Dry Syrup than recommended to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice an increase in symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
When can I stop giving Caudimox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Do not discontinue the medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms seem improved. Continuing the treatment as prescribed ensures that any remaining infection is fully cleared.
Can Caudimox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, this medication may lead to diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties and effects on beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration, consult a doctor for guidance.
Should all viral common colds be treated with antibiotics?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with a doctor before administering antibiotics in cases where they are not clearly indicated.
What does yellow or green mucus in my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus during a common cold is normal and typically lasts for 7-10 days. It may thicken up and change color, but this does not necessarily require antibiotic treatment.
When should I seek immediate medical attention for my child?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require urgent medical attention.
