Introduction
Clavluk Oral Suspension 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
Clavluk Oral Suspension 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Clavluk Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavluk Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavluk Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavluk Oral Suspension?
Clavluk Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Clavluk Oral Suspension, tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking. Always consult a healthcare professional before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavluk Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccines or cause negative reactions in children who have recently received them. However, it's essential that your child recovers from the illness before receiving any new vaccinations. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavluk Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
With extended treatment, periodic kidney and liver function tests might be necessary to monitor your child's condition. These assessments help track any potential changes due to the medication.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavluk Oral Suspension to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage may increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, contact their doctor for an evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavluk Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medication unless it's after completing the full treatment course. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured, so continue taking the prescribed dosage as it might still provide beneficial effects.
Can the use of Clavluk Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavluk Oral Suspension may cause diarrhea. It's important to note that this medication kills harmful bacteria and can affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to consume fluids like water if they experience diarrhea. Consult a doctor for any persistent diarrhea and if you notice signs of dehydration such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections, antibiotics should only be used after consultation with a doctor. It's essential to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use for viral illnesses. Consult your child’s healthcare professional for proper treatment.
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 signify a bacterial infection, which can be common during colds. It often thickens and changes color as symptoms improve. Most viral colds last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), severe gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pale appearance, vomiting).
