How it works
Flamox CV Dds 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from the illness before receiving a vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure their overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup to my child?
Administering a higher dose of Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue giving Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if their symptoms improve. Continue administering the medicine for the prescribed duration as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Flamox CV Dds Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties and impact on helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration, consult with their doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
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 indicate the need for antibiotics. Symptoms often persist for 7-10 days during a common cold.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert attention.
