Introduction
Moxafe 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
Moxafe 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Moxafe 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 Moxafe Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Moxafe Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Moxafe Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Moxafe Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxafe Syrup?
Moxafé Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Please tell your child's doctor about all medications they are taking before starting Moxafe Syrup, and discuss any new medications with their healthcare provider before giving them to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxafe Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxafe Syrup on a long-term basis?
In cases of prolonged treatment, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxafe Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher than recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxafe Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of the treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue giving the medicine for the due course as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Moxafe Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxafe Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because the medicine kills harmful bacteria in the body and also can alter the good bacteria balance in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists, talk to your doctor about potential dehydration (such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine). Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consultation with your child's doctor if they are prescribed by a medical professional.
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 indicate the need for antibiotics. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, lasting for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of severe allergic reactions (breathing problems or skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (severe diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), call your child's doctor right away.
