Introduction

Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to other treatments, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. While it is generally safe, it is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Side effects may include a bitter taste in the mouth, and in rare cases, an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties, which require immediate medical attention.

Administer Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.

Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.

Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Mexaclav Duo Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
