How it works
Evoxil CV Oral Drops 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Evoxil CV Oral Drops until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Evoxil CV Oral Drops to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Evoxil CV Oral Drops to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Evoxil CV Oral Drops immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Evoxil CV Oral Drops can interact with other medications. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Evoxil CV Oral Drops. Also, consult the doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Evoxil CV Oral Drops?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they recover from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Evoxil CV Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Evoxil CV Oral Drops to my child?
No, giving a higher-than-recommended dose can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult the doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Evoxil CV Oral Drops to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if your child feels better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
Can the use of Evoxil CV Oral Drops cause diarrhea?
Yes, Evoxil CV Oral Drops can cause diarrhea by killing harmful bacteria and affecting helpful bacteria in the stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult a doctor if diarrhea persists and signs of dehydration appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects, so consult with your child's doctor before using them.
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 mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require expert attention.
