Introduction
Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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 Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?

However, it's important to note that children on antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels well, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
During prolonged treatment, it's common practice to monitor kidney and liver function periodically to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?

Can I stop giving Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication without completing the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms might improve before complete healing. Therefore, continue administering the medicine for the full prescribed duration as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Haxel 200mg/28.5mg Tablet can cause diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication may affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids in case of diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored or strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor before administering any other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. It's important to note that antibiotics are only prescribed when a doctor diagnoses a secondary bacterial infection, as they can help fight the infection.
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 doesn't automatically mean your child needs antibiotics. During a typical cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually subside 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 serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rash), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects requiring expert care.
