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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken at the same time as Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup?
Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup, tell your doctor about all of your child's current medications. It is also crucial to consult your healthcare provider before administering any medication to your child without their explicit guidance.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in vaccinated children. However, it is advisable to hold vaccination until your child fully recovers from any illness. Once the child feels well, the doctor can administer the vaccination after they have recovered completely.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
In case of prolonged treatment with Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup, the doctor might order periodic kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup to my child?
Providing a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If you observe any worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor for reassessment.
Can I stop giving Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medication unless you have completed the full course as prescribed by the doctor. Even if your child shows improvement, the infection may not be completely cleared, and continuing treatment for its expected duration is crucial.
Can the use of Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Curvimox CV Forte Dry Syrup can sometimes lead to diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that works by eliminating harmful bacteria. This drug can also disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's gut, leading to diarrhea. In such cases, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consider talking to your doctor if the problem persists or you notice signs of dehydration like reduced urine output, dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most cases of a common cold do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, antibiotics should only be used after consulting your child's doctor for diagnosis and when necessary.
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 common colds, mucus may thicken and change from clear to yellow or green as a natural part of the process. Symptoms typically last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea, or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are significant and require expert treatment.
