How it works
Citoclav 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Citoclav Dry Syrup?
Citoclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about all medications and supplements they are taking before starting Citoclav Dry Syrup. Always seek medical advice from a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child, including over-the-counter options.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Citoclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients and do not cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child recovers from the illness or if you suspect an active infection has been cleared before administering the vaccine. Once your child feels better, the vaccination can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Citoclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during extended therapy with this medication, your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function to assess your child's overall health. Keep in mind that this is not a routine part of all prescriptions.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Citoclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Providing a dosage beyond the prescribed amount may increase the risks associated with side effects. If your child experiences intensified symptoms, consult with your doctor for an appropriate assessment and adjustment of their treatment.
Can I stop giving Citoclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is not recommended to discontinue medication without consulting your doctor. Even if you experience relief from the symptoms, continue administering this medication for its full duration as it might still be beneficial.
Can the use of Citoclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Citoclav Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. This is because the medicine eliminates harmful bacteria, and in doing so, may affect the good bacteria residing in your child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most common colds are caused by viruses. While some individuals might develop secondary bacterial infections due to weakening immune systems, this is not a universal occurrence. It's important to note that antibiotics should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional for confirmed bacterial infections.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Thickened, discolored, or green mucus in the nose during a common cold is normal. It typically clears within 7-10 days. This mucus change does not automatically indicate a need for antibiotics.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (yellowing of the eyes and skin, loss of appetite, vomiting). These symptoms might require urgent medical intervention.
