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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxiant Dry Syrup?
Moxiant Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Consult your child's doctor before starting this medication, and inform them of any other medications or substances your child is taking.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxiant Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not affect vaccine ingredients. However, children on antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, their doctor can advise when the vaccination is appropriate.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxiant Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically during prolonged therapy, kidney and liver function tests may be performed to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxiant Dry Syrup to my child?
No. Giving a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxiant Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue the medication unless the full course is complete. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured, so continue treatment as prescribed by your doctor.
Can the use of Moxiant Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxiant Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it acts as an antibiotic and kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, it might affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. In case of persistent diarrhea and signs of dehydration such as reduced urine frequency or dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consultation with your child's doctor when they are required.
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 always mean a bacterial infection. It is normal during a cold for mucus to thicken and change colour. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these serious effects necessitate expert intervention.
