Introduction
Mordica 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
Mordica 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 Mordica Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Mordica Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Mordica Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mordica Dry Syrup?
Mordica Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your doctor about all other medications your child takes before starting this medication. Additionally, always consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mordica Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction. However, it is recommended to hold off on vaccination until your child fully recovers from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can be vaccinated. If you're unsure about vaccination timing, speak to your child’s doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mordica Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged therapy. This helps in monitoring your child’s condition over time.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Mordica Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medicine could increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, please consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Mordica Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete. Even if you feel better, continue using the medicine as directed by your doctor as it may still be exhibiting beneficial effects.
Can the use of Mordica Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Mordica Dry Syrup can potentially cause diarrhea. This is because it is an antibiotic that helps kill harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication may impact the helpful bacteria in your child’s stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to consume adequate fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration (e.g., decreased urination with dark-colored urine), consult your doctor immediately.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, giving antibiotics in a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, antibiotics should be used only after consulting 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 mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, nasal mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (severe diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects that necessitate expert intervention.
