How it works
Dewmox-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 become resistant or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Dewmox-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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, including medications already in use.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it is best to wait until your child recovers from the illness before getting vaccinated. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function might be necessary during prolonged treatment with Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup. Your doctor will determine the frequency based on your child's individual needs.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than recommended can increase risks and should be avoided. Consult your doctor if your child experiences worsened symptoms, especially for potential side effects.
Can I stop giving Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop treatment with Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup until the full course is completed. It may take longer for the infection to clear completely. Continued medication is needed to ensure that all bacteria are eliminated.
Can the use of Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Dewmox-CV Dry Syrup can potentially lead to diarrhea. This occurs because the medicine kills harmful bacteria in the body and may also affect beneficial bacteria in your child’s stomach. Encourage your child to drink fluids if experiencing diarrhea.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not usually lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor if they are necessary for a secondary bacterial infection.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge often occurs with viral infections. While this can sometimes signal a bacterial infection, it's not always the case.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects.
