Introduction
Cloax 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
Cloax 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.
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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Cloax Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Cloax Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Cloax Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cloax Dry Syrup?
Cloax Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are currently taking before starting this medication. Also, check with their doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cloax Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics do not usually interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after receiving a vaccination. However, it's important to ensure your child recovers from the illness before receiving any further vaccinations unless prescribed by their doctor. Once they are fully recovered, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cloax Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged treatment with Cloax Dry Syrup, your doctor may conduct kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Cloax Dry Syrup to my child?
Providing a dosage higher than the recommended amount can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, please consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Cloax Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you must not discontinue this medication without complete treatment unless directed by your child's doctor. The symptoms may subside before the infection is completely eradicated. Therefore, continue administering the medicine for the full course as it might still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Cloax Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Cloax Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. This is because it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, it can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in the child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to consume a good amount of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists or if you notice any signs of dehydration like infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, talk to their doctor before giving any medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most times, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor after considering the need and potential risks. It's crucial to understand that using antibiotics during a viral infection can increase your child's risk of side effects.
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 does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change in color 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?
In case of serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), you must immediately contact your child's doctor. These side effects can be rare but are very serious and require expert medical attention.
