Kroclav 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Kroclav Dry Syrup?
Kroclav Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Kroclav Dry Syrup. It's also essential to consult your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Kroclav Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, it's crucial to ensure that your child recovers from the illness before receiving any vaccination. After your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered following consultation with their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Kroclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Kroclav Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, please consult their doctor for an evaluation.
Can I stop giving Kroclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the full course of treatment. Even if you notice symptom improvement before complete healing, continue the medication as it might still provide benefit.
Can the use of Kroclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Kroclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. As an antibiotic, it targets harmful bacteria while simultaneously affecting beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration (reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult your doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most instances, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, administering antibiotics to a viral infection might increase your child's risk of side effects. Always consult with their doctor before using any antibiotics.
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 isn't necessarily a sign that antibiotics are needed, especially during a common cold. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green during a common cold. These symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). Though uncommon, these side effects are significant and require the expertise of a healthcare professional.
