Introduction
Egmox-CV 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
Egmox-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 or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Egmox-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. Never give Egmox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Egmox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Egmox-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Egmox-CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Egmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Egmox-CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Consult your child's doctor before starting this medication and inform them of any other medicines your child is taking.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Egmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children. However, it's best to wait until your child is fully recovered from the illness before administering any medication. Once they feel better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Egmox-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
When using this medication for prolonged periods, periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function is recommended by the doctor.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Egmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
It's crucial not to exceed the recommended dosage. Increasing the dose may lead to potential side effects, and in case your child experiences increased symptoms, consult with your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Egmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop giving this medication to your child without consulting a doctor unless the entire course of treatment is completed, even if they feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection fully clears. Continue the medication as prescribed by the doctor.
Can the use of Egmox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Egmox-CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses generally do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consultation with your child’s doctor when they are needed. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for the most accurate 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 doesn't necessarily indicate a bacterial infection during a common cold. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change color, often resolving 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 severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, pale skin, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
