How it works
Clavucillin 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavucillin Dry Syrup?
Clavucillin Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to tell your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Clavucillin Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavucillin Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child recovers from their illness. After your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavucillin Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged therapy to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavucillin Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dosage for Clavucillin Dry Syrup. Higher doses may increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavucillin Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medication until the entire treatment course is complete, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eradicated. Continue the medication for its full duration in case it is still providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Clavucillin Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavucillin Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication can affect the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration like reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viral infections typically do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. While antibiotics are effective against some bacteria, they should only be used after consulting with a healthcare professional when needed, especially for 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 from the nose is not indicative of an immediate need for antibiotics. During a common cold, nasal discharge tends to thicken and change color from clear to yellowish-green as the illness progresses. The symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While these effects are rare, prompt medical attention is crucial.
