Introduction
Jenclav Dry Syrup 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
Jenclav 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
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Jenclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Jenclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Jenclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Jenclav Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Jenclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Jenclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Jenclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Jenclav Dry Syrup, usually do not interfere 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 the illness before receiving a vaccine.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Jenclav Dry Syrup for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Jenclav Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of Jenclav Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Jenclav Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Jenclav Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to incomplete treatment and potentially prolong the infection.
Can Jenclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Jenclav 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 water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists or is accompanied by signs of dehydration, consult your doctor for guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
No, most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. In fact, giving antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is a normal symptom of a common cold, and it does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that require immediate medical attention?
Yes, if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical attention. These side effects are rare but require expert attention.
