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.

Safety Information
Side Effects
No common side effects listed.
How it works
Entoclav 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 may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Entoclav 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 Entoclav Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Entoclav Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Entoclav 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 Entoclav Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Entoclav Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any other medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Entoclav Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have been recently vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting a vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Entoclav Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Entoclav Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Entoclav Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course has been completed, even if symptoms improve. The infection may still be active, and continued medication is necessary for complete recovery.
Can the use of Entoclav Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Entoclav Syrup can cause diarrhea as an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria may also affect helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult with a doctor if symptoms persist and signs of dehydration occur.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor to avoid side effects.
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 necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken up and change color, and symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require expert attention.
