How it works
Gruclav 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

Stop Gruclav Dry Syrup 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 simultaneously with Gruclav Dry Syrup?
It's important to discuss any other medications your child is taking with their doctor before starting Gruclav Dry Syrup. They can advise you on potential interactions and ensure safe co-administration.
Can I receive vaccinations alongside Gruclav Dry Syrup treatment?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients, nor cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received vaccines. However, it is best to consult a pediatrician before administering any medicine to your child after the initial illness has subsided.
What laboratory tests might be conducted while on long-term Gruclav Dry Syrup therapy?
Periodically, your doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's overall health during prolonged treatment.
Can I exceed the recommended dosage of Gruclav Dry Syrup for my child?
Giving a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Should I stop Gruclav Dry Syrup when symptoms lessen?
No, do not discontinue this medication until you have completed the prescribed course even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before complete infection elimination. Therefore, continue treatment according to your doctor's instructions for optimal effects.
Can Gruclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Gruclav Dry Syrup might trigger diarrhea due to its antibacterial nature. It can also disrupt the balance of bacteria in the child's gut, potentially leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink fluids and consult a doctor if diarrhea persists or if signs of dehydration (decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine) develop.
Do all viral colds necessitate bacterial infection?
Most common cold viruses don't lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotic use in a viral infection can actually increase the risk of side effects. Always consult a pediatrician before prescribing antibiotics.
What do yellow-green mucus discharge from my child's nose signify?
Yellow or green mucus is a common occurrence during colds and usually signifies a normal progression of the infection, although it can be thicker than clear. Symptoms often resolve within 7 to 10 days.
Are there any immediate medical signs that require urgent attention?
You should immediately contact your child's doctor in case of severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects can be rare but require expert attention.
