Introduction
Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to other treatments, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. The medication contains two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to inhibit bacterial growth and survival. While generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or sharing this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics to prevent bacterial resistance or recurrence of infection.
How it works
Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension. 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 Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension 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 the expiry date before giving Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension 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 taken with Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension?
Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension may interact with other medicines or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to monitor their condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue giving the medicine for the prescribed duration, as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Exsanclav DS Oral Suspension may cause diarrhea. This antibiotic kills harmful bacteria, and it may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences 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.
