How it works
Gzlclav DS 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 become resistant or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Gzlclav DS Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Gzlclav DS Syrup?
Gzlclav DS Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your child's doctor about any other medication your child is currently taking before starting Gzlclav DS Syrup. Consulting your child's healthcare provider before administering any new medicine to your child is also essential.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Gzlclav DS Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a child who has recently received one. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they are fully recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can get vaccinated as advised by the doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Gzlclav DS Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, during prolonged therapy, the doctor may conduct kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's overall health status.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Gzlclav DS Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, it is crucial to consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Gzlclav DS Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the prescribed course. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue taking the medicine as per your doctor's instructions.
Can the use of Gzlclav DS Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Gzlclav DS Syrup can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. In addition, this medication may also affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. If the diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration like decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most times, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, using antibiotics for a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects and complications. Please seek your doctor's advice 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 a bacterial infection. It is normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, lasting 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should immediately contact your child's doctor if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These side effects are rare, but require expert attention.
