Introduction
Curiclox-CV 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
Curiclox-CV 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 Curiclox-CV 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 Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Can Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Curiclox-CV Dry Syrup can sometimes lead to diarrhea. This is a common side effect of this antibiotic which kills harmful bacteria.

What does yellow or green mucus in my child’s nose indicate?
Yellow or green nasal discharge is a common symptom during a cold and doesn't necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. In most cases, this color change is temporary. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that require immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are potential serious side effects and need immediate medical attention.
