Introduction
Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg 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
Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup?

Once your child feels better, you can discuss the possibility of administering the vaccine with their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess the medication's effect over extended periods of treatment.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child?
No, it is not recommended to administer a dosage higher than that prescribed for your child. If your child experiences increased symptoms or side effects, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Can Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Dentoclav 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup may lead to diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, it can affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If it persists or you notice signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor before administering any other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. In fact, giving antibiotics to a patient with a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Consult your 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 from the nose during a common cold is not necessarily indicative of a bacterial infection. Thickening and change in mucus color are usually a normal part of the cold process, lasting for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical attention. Although rare, these are serious side effects that require professional intervention.
