Directions for Use

How it works
Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup?

What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
Your child's doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition while taking Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is common for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?

If your child develops diarrhea while taking Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Can Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Clovodox 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
