How it works
Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet 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.

It's crucial to inform your child's healthcare provider about all medications your child is taking before starting Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet. Additionally, consult their doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet?
In general, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children receiving antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they recover from any associated illness. Once your child feels well, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
During prolonged treatment with this medication, your doctor might periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medication can increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless your child completes the prescribed course of treatment. Even if you perceive improvement, symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared. Therefore, ensure continued treatment according to the full course.
Can the use of Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moclawin 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet may cause diarrhea. This antibiotic works by killing harmful bacteria. Additionally, it can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. Seek medical advice if the diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration like dark-colored urine or a decrease in urination.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most times, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, administering antibiotics in a viral infection can increase your child's risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
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 doesn't indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus tends to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
It's crucial to contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require professional intervention.
