Introduction
Kulcillin 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
Kulcillin 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup?
Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are taking before starting Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup. Always check with your child's healthcare provider before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the components of vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them. However, children receiving antibiotics should avoid vaccinations until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, if the treatment is prolonged, doctors may conduct kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Providing a dosage higher than the recommended one for this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an increase in symptoms, please consult with your doctor to assess if re-evaluation is needed.
Can I stop giving Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the entire course of treatment, even if your child feels better. Symptoms might improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue using the medication as prescribed for the full duration.
Can the use of Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Kulcillin CV Dry Syrup can potentially cause diarrhea. This medication is an antibiotic that combats harmful bacteria. Additionally, it might disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and trigger diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to consume plenty of fluids or other drinks.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses typically do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Giving antibiotics in cases of viral infection can increase your child's risk of adverse reactions, so consult with their healthcare provider for guidance.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus from the nose does not always indicate a bacterial infection. During common colds, the consistency of mucus tends to thicken and shift color, going from clear to yellow or green. Most symptoms will subside after 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor right away in case of serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are potentially life-threatening and require immediate attention from medical professionals.
