Introduction
Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT 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

How it works
Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT 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 Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?

Can I stop giving Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Can the use of Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT cause diarrhea?
Yes, Erox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT may cause diarrhea. This is because it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. It can also disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea.

Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Typically, bacterial infections do not develop alongside viral infections. In fact, antibiotics should only be given after consulting with a healthcare professional to treat any potential 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 doesn't necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green as a natural response. Symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea and stomach pain), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these are serious side effects that require expert medical attention.
