Introduction
Levclav-DS Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly useful in treating bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics, making it a valuable option for resistant tuberculosis as well. The medication contains two active ingredients, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to inhibit bacterial growth and survival. While it is generally well-tolerated, it is crucial to complete the entire course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or sharing this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer Levclav-DS Dry Syrup to your child as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Levclav-DS Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Levclav-DS Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Levclav-DS 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 getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Levclav-DS 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 and adjust treatment as needed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Levclav-DS Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Levclav-DS 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 Levclav-DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Levclav-DS Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping treatment prematurely may lead to treatment failure and prolonged illness.
Can the use of Levclav-DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Levclav-DS Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
No, 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 color. Symptoms often 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 serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require expert attention.
