Introduction
Molav-CV 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
Molav-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. 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 Molav-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Molav-CV 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Molav-CV Dry Syrup?
Molav-CV Dry Syrup can interact with other medications. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Molav-CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult the doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can vaccination be done while on treatment with Molav-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which laboratory tests may be performed on a long-term basis while taking Molav-CV Dry Syrup?
During prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to track your child's condition.
Can a higher dose of Molav-CV Dry Syrup be given to my child?
No, administering a higher than recommended dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Molav-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are alleviated?
No, do not discontinue giving this medication 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. Hence, continue administering the medication for the prescribed duration as it may still be exerting beneficial effects.
Can Molav-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Molav-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult with a 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 any medication to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Therefore, use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow-green mucus 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 and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which indicates immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are severe and require expert attention.
