Introduction
Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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
Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet may interact with other medications or substances.

You should also consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and are not likely to cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received them. However, if your child is taking antibiotics for a bacterial infection, it's best to wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
Doctors may periodically monitor kidney and liver function in children who are taking this medication long-term.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?
Giving a dosage exceeding the recommended amount for Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet may increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult your doctor to review their treatment plan.
Can I stop giving Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the complete course of treatment is completed. Even if your child shows improvement in their symptoms, they may still benefit from the medicine for the full duration as it might be providing continued benefits.
Can the use of Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, some children may experience diarrhea while taking Esclav 200mg/28.5mg Tablet. This is because it's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored or strong-smelling urine. Do not administer other medication without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viral infections usually do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. While antibiotics are generally not used for viral infections like the common cold, it's best to consult your child's doctor before administering them unless there is a clear indication of a 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 mucus from your child's nose during a common cold is not necessarily indicative of a bacterial infection. In many cases, the mucus changes color and consistency as your child recovers. Symptoms often last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical help if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These symptoms can be serious and require expert intervention.
