How it works
Garclav 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.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Garclav Oral Drops?
Garclav Oral Drops may interact with other medications or substances. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine to your child, and inform them of all other medications being taken.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Garclav Oral Drops?
Vaccines usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been given Garclav Oral Drops. However, it is best to delay vaccinations until your child recovers from any illness before starting treatment. Once your child feels better, you can give them a vaccine after consulting their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Garclav Oral Drops on a long-term basis?
To monitor the condition of your child over time with prolonged therapy, your doctor may order periodic kidney and liver function tests.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Garclav Oral Drops to my child?
Giving more than the recommended dose of this medicine could increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Garclav Oral Drops to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Garclav Oral Drops without completing the full prescribed course. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eradicated. Continue administering the medicine as instructed by your doctor.
Can the use of Garclav Oral Drops cause diarrhea?
Yes, Garclav Oral Drops can sometimes cause diarrhea. It's important to note that this medication contains antibiotics that kill harmful bacteria in your child's body. Furthermore, it can affect the beneficial bacteria in their digestive system, leading to diarrhea. In such cases, encourage your child to consume fluids like water or other drinks. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urination with dark colored urine), consult a doctor before administering any additional medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral infections don't cause secondary bacterial infections, it is important to note that giving antibiotics without consulting a doctor for secondary infections can pose safety risks and may lead to side effects. Consult your child’s doctor before starting antibiotic treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. This change in mucus color and consistency is common during a typical cold. It's often normal for the mucus to thicken and change color as symptoms persist.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects require immediate medical attention.
