Introduction
Moxidat CL 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
Moxidat CL 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Moxidat CL 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 Moxidat CL Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Moxidat CL Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Moxidat CL Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Moxidat CL Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxidat CL Dry Syrup?
Moxidat CL Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Moxidat CL Dry Syrup. Consult their healthcare provider for guidance regarding any new medicine administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxidat CL Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been immunized. However, waiting until your child fully recovers from an illness is recommended before receiving any vaccine. Consult their doctor to determine if it's safe after recovery.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxidat CL Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function is recommended for patients on prolonged therapy with Moxidat CL Dry Syrup. This may involve blood or urine tests as needed by your doctor.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxidat CL Dry Syrup to my child?
Overdosing on this medication can increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consult your child's healthcare provider if you notice any significant worsening of symptoms or suspect an overdose, as they will adjust treatment accordingly.
Can I stop giving Moxidat CL Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is not recommended to stop Moxidat CL Dry Syrup therapy prematurely without consulting a doctor. Symptoms may improve before complete healing, and continuing the full course of treatment might be necessary.
Can the use of Moxidat CL Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxidat CL Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea. It is a type of antibiotic that eliminates harmful bacteria. This medication may also disrupt beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. Consult a healthcare provider if the diarrhea persists and you observe signs of dehydration (reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine). Don't administer any additional medication to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Using antibiotics unnecessarily during these cases can increase the risk of side effects. Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment if your child's symptoms persist or worsen, and they require further evaluation.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection in common colds. During this type of illness, mucus often changes from clear to yellow-green as it thickens. Symptoms typically last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms such as weakness, paleness, and vomiting. Although rare, these side effects require prompt medical intervention by a healthcare professional.
