Introduction
Ethamox CV DS 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
Ethamox CV DS 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 Ethamox CV DS 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 Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Always consult a healthcare professional for advice regarding administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics are generally safe to use alongside vaccinations. However, it is recommended that children avoid receiving a vaccine until they have recovered from the illness for which the antibiotic was prescribed. Once your child feels better, the doctor can provide guidance about when and if they should be vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during long-term therapy with Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than recommended for Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation. Do not change the dosage without consulting with your child's doctor.
Can I stop giving Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the full course prescribed by your doctor. While symptoms may improve before infection is fully eradicated, continuing the treatment is necessary for optimal outcomes.
Can the use of Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Ethamox CV DS Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, this medication may alter the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration like reduced urine output with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, it is important to contact a medical professional for guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viral infections are usually not followed by bacterial infections. It's crucial to avoid using antibiotics unless recommended by your child’s doctor, as it can increase the risk of side effects and is unnecessary for most viral illnesses.
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 is not an indication of a bacterial infection during a common cold. It's normal for the mucus to thicken and change color, from clear to yellow or green, as your child's body fights off the virus.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child’s doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal problems (severe diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). While rare, these side effects require immediate professional attention.
