Introduction
Clavwin 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
Clavwin 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.
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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Clavwin Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Clavwin Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavwin Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavwin Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Clavwin Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavwin Syrup?
Clavwin Syrup may interact with other medications. Before starting Clavwin Syrup, tell your child's doctor about any other medications or substances they are taking. It is also advisable to consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavwin Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a negative reaction in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should be vaccinated only after recovering from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavwin Syrup on a long-term basis?
If prescribed for prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavwin Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavwin Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medication to your child until the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue administering the medicine as per the prescribed duration, as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Clavwin Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavwin Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria, and this might also affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. If diarrhea persists, or if you notice signs of dehydration (such as less frequent urination, dark-colored urine, and a foul odor), do not give any other medications without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections are not a consequence of viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics to a child with a viral infection can even increase their risk of experiencing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not indicate that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for the mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms typically last for 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 serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects, although rare, require the attention of a healthcare professional.
