Introduction
Keymox CV Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is particularly useful in treating infections that have become resistant to other antibiotics, including certain types of tuberculosis. The medicine contains two active ingredients: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, which is essential for their survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits an enzyme called beta-lactamase, produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against many types of infections. It is important to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant.
Directions for Use
Administer Keymox CV Dry Syrup as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure your child completes the entire course of the antibiotic. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Keymox CV Dry Syrup contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various 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 taking Keymox CV Dry 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. Never give Keymox CV Dry Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Keymox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check the expiry date before giving Keymox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Keymox CV 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 given at the same time as Keymox CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Keymox CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Keymox CV Dry Syrup may interact with other substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Keymox CV Dry Syrup?
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 vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Keymox CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to monitor their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Keymox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Keymox CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue giving the medicine for the recommended duration to ensure the infection is fully treated.
Can the use of Keymox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Keymox CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because the medicine kills harmful bacteria, which can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require immediate medical attention.
