How it works
Moxcad-BD 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.
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 Moxcad-BD 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 Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients 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. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup for an extended period?
With prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on their condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher 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 Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine 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 giving the medicine for the due course as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxcad-BD Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. In addition to that, the medicine may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Talk to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, like less frequency of 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 of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics in viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. So, use antibiotics 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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that show my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need an expert's attention.
