Introduction
Clavom 200mg/28.5mg 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
Clavom 200mg/28.5mg 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup, your doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher than recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If you observe increased severity of symptoms in your child, please consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if your child feels better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue administering the medicine for the prescribed duration as it may still be exerting beneficial effects.
Can the use of Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavom 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties and potential impact on the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. In case of persistent diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If symptoms persist and signs of dehydration are noticed, consult with your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics in the treatment of a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects for your child. Therefore, only use antibiotics after consulting with your child's doctor.
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, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor right away if you observe serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require prompt attention from a medical professional.
