Introduction
Clavpam-D 228.5 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
Clavpam-D 228.5 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 the use of Clavpam-D 228.5 Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?

Consult a doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration (decreased urination with dark-colored, strong-smelling urine).
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting a doctor for appropriate 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 does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. This change is normal during a common cold as the mucus thickens and changes color. It usually lasts 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 (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pale complexion, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are serious and require urgent medical care.
