How it works
Gen Clav 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.

It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Gen Clav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Gen Clav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Gen Clav Dry Syrup do not typically interact with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before receiving a vaccine. Consult with your child's doctor for personalized guidance.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Gen Clav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Gen Clav Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may recommend periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Gen Clav Dry Syrup to my child?
It is crucial not to exceed the recommended dose of Gen Clav Dry Syrup, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with your child's doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Gen Clav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment with Gen Clav Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Gen Clav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Gen Clav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult with your child's doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. It is essential to consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics, as overuse can increase the risk of 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 indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is common for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often resolve on their own within 7-10 days.
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 infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
