Introduction
Clavilect A 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
Clavilect A 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 Clavilect A 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 Clavilect A Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavilect A Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavilect A Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Clavilect A 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 Clavilect A Syrup?
Clavilect A Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting this medication. Additionally, consult with a healthcare professional before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavilect A Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the components of vaccines or lead to adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is crucial for children on antibiotics to avoid receiving vaccinations until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavilect A Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition is monitored.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavilect A Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication than recommended increases the risk of adverse side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavilect A Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop administering this medication to your child unless they complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms might improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue with the prescribed medication for the specified duration as it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Clavilect A Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavilect A Syrup can lead to diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic nature; it kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, the medicine may disrupt the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if experiencing diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before administering other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses are the most frequent cause of a cold. While antibiotics do not address viral infections, they can be used to combat bacterial complications that may arise from viral infections. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
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 doesn't necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience: severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). Although rare, these symptoms require the expertise of a healthcare professional.
