How it works
Extclav DS XL 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?

Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
Can the use of Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Extclav DS XL Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea as it affects helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult a doctor if diarrhea persists and signs of dehydration appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor is recommended to avoid increasing their risk of developing side effects.
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's normal for mucus to thicken up 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). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need expert attention.
