Introduction

Clavsum 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.

Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.

Side Effects

Bitter taste in the mouth Diarrhea Itchy rash Facial swelling Breathing difficulty

Clavsum 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.

Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Clavsum Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavsum Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavsum Syrup to your child.
