Introduction
Clovomox 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
Clovomox 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 Clovomox Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clovomox Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clovomox Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clovomox Dry Syrup?
Clovomox Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. It's essential to inform your child's healthcare provider about all medications they are currently taking before starting treatment. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine to them.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clovomox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is best to avoid vaccination until your child recovers from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clovomox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, periodic kidney and liver function tests might be necessary to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clovomox Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage may increase the risk of adverse effects. If you experience an increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clovomox Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication until the full course has been completed. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared. Therefore, continue with the prescribed dosage for the complete duration.
Can the use of Clovomox Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clovomox Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It acts as an antibiotic to combat harmful bacteria. This medication may also impact the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and result in diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. Contact a doctor for advice if the diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration, such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not administer any other medication without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. In addition, using antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of complications. Therefore, consult your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These potential side effects are rare but require professional intervention.
