How it works
Decimet-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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Decimet-CV Dry Syrup?
Decimet-CV Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Decimet-CV Dry Syrup, and consult them about giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Decimet-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in a child who has been recently vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Decimet-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, periodic kidney and liver function tests may be recommended by the doctor to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Decimet-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dosage of this medicine increases the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Decimet-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless you complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured, so continue using the medication for its intended duration.
Can the use of Decimet-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Decimet-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This medication kills harmful bacteria; however, it can also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink fluids like water or other suitable beverages if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor before giving any additional medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most cases of viral common cold do not lead to secondary bacterial infection. In fact, antibiotics should be used only after consulting your child's doctor because administering them during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Seek medical advice from your physician for appropriate treatment.
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 indicate that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color (clear to yellow/green). Symptoms typically subside within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects that require expert assistance.
