Introduction
Clavihop 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
Clavihop 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 Clavihop Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Clavihop Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Clavihop Dry Syrup may interact with other substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavihop Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Clavihop Dry Syrup, usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavihop 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 Clavihop Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Clavihop Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavihop Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Clavihop Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential relapse.
Can the use of Clavihop Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavihop Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, ensure they drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists or is accompanied by signs of dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
No, most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor, as they can increase the risk of side effects when used unnecessarily.
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 indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color, and symptoms often last for 7-10 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, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
