How it works
Dobiclav-DS Oral Suspension Strawberry 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 Dobiclav-DS Oral Suspension Strawberry until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Dobiclav-DS Oral Suspension Strawberry to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check 'expiry' before giving Dobiclav-DS Oral Suspension Strawberry to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.
