How it works
Men-CV 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Men-CV Dry Syrup?
Men-CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. It's important to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting this medication. Consult your child's doctor before administering any additional medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Men-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who are recently vaccinated. However, it's essential for children to recover from their illness before receiving vaccines. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Men-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, when the therapy is prolonged, the doctor might assess kidney and liver function during follow-up to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Men-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than prescribed dose of this medicine can increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences an increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Men-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Men-CV Dry Syrup unless the full course of treatment is completed. Even if you feel better, it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Men-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Men-CV Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea as a result of its antibiotic properties, which also impacts helpful bacteria in the child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids to manage this.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to bacterial infections. Additionally, giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Antibiotics should only be used after consultation 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 nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. It is normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, and the symptoms often subside in 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical care if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea and/or vomiting) or liver damage (weakness, paleness, dark urine). Though rare, these side effects warrant expert intervention.
