Introduction
Kozomox CV 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
Kozomox CV 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Kozomox 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 Kozomox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Kozomox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Kozomox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Kozomox 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 Kozomox CV Dry Syrup?
Kozomox CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Kozomox CV Dry Syrup, and check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Kozomox CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics are usually not known to interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, children should refrain from receiving vaccinations until they recover fully from the illness. Once your child feels better, it is possible to administer the vaccine after consulting their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Kozomox CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged therapy to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Kozomox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine may increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Kozomox CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Kozomox CV Dry Syrup unless you have followed the prescribed dosage course. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured, so continue the medicine as directed.
Can the use of Kozomox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Kozomox CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic properties and effects on beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not directly lead to secondary bacterial infections. It is important to remember that antibiotics are usually only prescribed after consulting with your child's doctor for a bacterial infection. Giving antibiotics in the case of a simple viral cold can even increase the risk of side effects.
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. During a common cold, mucus typically thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green as symptoms progress. Symptoms usually last for 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 (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are serious and require professional intervention.
