How it works
Cosmox Duo 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Cosmox Duo Dry 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 Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken alongside Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup?
Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any additional medications your child might be taking before starting this treatment. Additionally, it's always recommended to consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can my child get vaccinated while on Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup treatment?
While antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated, it is advisable to hold off on administering the vaccine until your child fully recovers from any illness they might be experiencing. Once your child feels better, then the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests might my child undergo during long-term treatment with Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests may be conducted for long-term use of this medication. These tests are necessary to monitor your child's overall health condition.
Can I administer a higher dose of Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than recommended dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an increase in symptom severity, please consult with your doctor to re-evaluate their condition.
Should I stop giving Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup to my child once symptoms improve?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is completed. Even if you observe improvement in your child's symptoms, it may take some time for the infection to be fully eradicated. Continue administering the medicine as prescribed until the final dosage is complete.
Can Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Cosmox Duo Dry Syrup can potentially lead to diarrhea. It's important to remember that this antibiotic medication helps fight harmful bacteria. The drug may also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child’s stomach, causing diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists, and you notice signs of dehydration like a decrease in urination frequency with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, it is crucial to contact your doctor for advice.
Does all common cold result in secondary bacterial infection?
The majority of the time, bacterial infections do not develop after viral infections. In fact, administering antibiotics during a viral infection can potentially increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Always consult with your child’s doctor before using antibiotics.
What sign might indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
If you notice any alarming symptoms such as severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting), it is essential to contact your child's doctor immediately. While these conditions are rare, they require prompt medical attention.
