Introduction
Iimoclav Oral Suspension 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 become resistant or cause another infection.
How it works
Iimoclav Oral Suspension 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 or become resistant or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Iimoclav Oral Suspension. 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. Never give Iimoclav Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Iimoclav Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Iimoclav Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Iimoclav Oral Suspension 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 given at the same time as Iimoclav Oral Suspension?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Iimoclav Oral Suspension. 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 Iimoclav Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Iimoclav Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to monitor their condition and adjust treatment as needed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Iimoclav Oral Suspension to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance on the best course of treatment.
Can I stop giving Iimoclav Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your child's doctor, even if symptoms improve before the infection is fully cleared. Stopping treatment prematurely may lead to treatment failure and the risk of antibiotic resistance.
Can the use of Iimoclav Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Iimoclav Oral Suspension may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
No, most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used under the guidance of a doctor, as overuse can increase the risk of side effects and antibiotic resistance.
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, mucus can thicken and change color, and 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, gastrointestinal infections, or liver damage. These side effects are rare but serious and require prompt medical attention.
