Introduction
Lucemox 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
Lucemox 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 Lucemox Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Lucemox Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Lucemox Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Lucemox Dry Syrup?
It is important to consult with your child's doctor before combining Lucemox Dry Syrup with other medications or substances, as some combinations may cause adverse reactions. The doctor can help you determine the safest and most effective combination based on your child's specific needs.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Lucemox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child has fully recovered from any illness and the doctor has cleared them for immunization.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Lucemox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term use of Lucemox Dry Syrup may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function to ensure the health and well-being of your child. Consult with your doctor regarding appropriate testing frequency.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Lucemox Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage above the prescribed amount can increase the risk of side effects and should be avoided. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, please reach out to their doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Lucemox Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
You should not stop giving this medicine to your child until the full course is completed, even if you observe symptom improvement. It's crucial to finish the prescribed dosage as it could still be working to fully eliminate the infection. This prevents potential re-infection.
Can the use of Lucemox Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Lucemox Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibacterial properties which disrupt the balance of bacteria in your child's gut.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. It's important to focus on symptom relief with medications, especially during the initial phase of a cold. Consulting a doctor before administering antibiotics is crucial.
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 automatically indicate a bacterial infection, but rather the body's response to a cold. The color change is common during viral infections and typically clears on its own within a week.
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 complications like persistent diarrhea and vomiting, or liver damage (discomfort, fatigue, pale skin). These are serious side effects that require urgent care.
