Introduction
Clavimix 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
Clavimix 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 Clavimix 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 Clavimix Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavimix Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavimix Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Clavimix Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavimix Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Clavimix 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 them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavimix Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Prolonged therapy with Clavimix Dry Syrup may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavimix Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Clavimix Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Clavimix Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Clavimix Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Clavimix Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavimix 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 fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. It is essential to consult your child's doctor before administering antibiotics, as they can increase the risk of side effects and may not be effective against viral infections.
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 is a common symptom of a common cold and does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. Symptoms often resolve on their own within 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.
