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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mainclav Dry Syrup?
Mainclav Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It's important to inform your child’s doctor about all the medications they are taking before starting Mainclav Dry Syrup, and also check with their doctor before giving any medicine to your child. This ensures there is no harmful interaction.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mainclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been immunized. However, it's best to avoid vaccination until your child has recovered from their illness. Once they feel better, a doctor can determine whether vaccination is safe and appropriate.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mainclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With long-term therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Mainclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medication than recommended can increase risks associated with side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Mainclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication until you have completed the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms might improve before the infection is completely cleared, so continue the medication for the prescribed duration.
Can the use of Mainclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Mainclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea as it works by killing harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medicine can impact the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists, seek medical advice from a doctor for guidance on managing the symptoms.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections; however, it's essential to avoid using antibiotics without consulting your child’s doctor. Antibiotics are meant only for bacterial infections.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose usually does not necessitate antibiotic use. It is a common symptom during a cold as mucus thickens and changes color. These symptoms typically last for 7 to 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 difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are significant and require expert intervention.
