Introduction
Linclav 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. You can give Linclav Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Linclav Dry Syrup is to be taken with food.

How it works
Linclav 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. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help if your child has a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Linclav Dry Syrup. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Linclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Linclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Linclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Linclav 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 Linclav Dry Syrup?
It's essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they're taking before starting Linclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before giving any new medicine to ensure safe co-administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Linclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Linclav Dry Syrup usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions. However, it's recommended to delay vaccination until your child has fully recovered from the current illness.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Linclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests is crucial during prolonged therapy with Linclav Dry Syrup to ensure your child's overall health and safety.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Linclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving more than the prescribed dose can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice increased symptoms, consult with your child's doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Linclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Continue administering Linclav Dry Syrup as directed by your child's doctor even if symptoms improve. Stopping treatment prematurely may lead to incomplete recovery or relapse.
Can the use of Linclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Linclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic effects on both harmful and beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage fluid intake to stay hydrated and consult with a doctor if symptoms persist.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections don't follow viral ones. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can lead to side effects. Consult your child's doctor before administering 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 doesn't necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During common colds, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms usually last 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 (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require expert attention.
