How it works
Medclu DS Oral Suspension 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.

Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Medclu DS Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics, including Medclu DS Oral Suspension, usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Medclu DS Oral Suspension for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to monitor their condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Medclu DS Oral Suspension than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Medclu DS Oral Suspension to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue giving the medicine for the recommended duration, as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can Medclu DS Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Medclu DS Oral Suspension may cause diarrhea. This is because the medicine kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. 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 not give your child any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
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.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose 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 from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should call your child's doctor immediately 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.
