How it works
Clavam Oral Drops 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.

Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Stop Clavam Oral Drops 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 Clavam Oral Drops?
Clavam Oral Drops can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. It is important to inform your doctor about all medications your child is taking before starting treatment with Clavam Oral Drops. Additionally, always consult your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavam Oral Drops?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received one. However, vaccination should be delayed until your child has recovered from any illness they were experiencing when starting Clavam Oral Drops. Once the child feels better, the vaccine can be given as per doctor's recommendations.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavam Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during extended use of Clavam Oral Drops.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavam Oral Drops to my child?
No, administering a dosage higher than the prescribed amount can increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult your child's healthcare provider for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavam Oral Drops to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication until completing the prescribed course of treatment. While symptoms may improve before complete infection resolution, continued treatment is necessary.
Can the use of Clavam Oral Drops cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavam Oral Drops may lead to diarrhea. This is due to its antibacterial nature and potential impact on the natural balance of bacteria in your child's gut.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most common colds do not necessitate antibiotic use. Antibiotics are only necessary for bacterial infections that have developed as a complication of a viral infection, and these should be prescribed by your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
While yellow or green mucus in the nose is not indicative of bacterial infection, it can indicate a change in the natural condition of your child's mucus as a result of a viral infection. Symptoms of a common cold typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), it is crucial to contact your child's healthcare provider immediately.
