Safety Information

No common side effects listed.
How it works
Moxidux 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 become resistant or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Moxidux 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxidux Dry Syrup?
It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are currently taking before starting Moxidux Dry Syrup. This will ensure there is no potential for harmful interactions or adverse effects.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxidux Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and pose no significant risk of negative reactions. However, it is important to avoid administering a vaccine until your child has recovered from the illness that requires antibiotic therapy. Once they feel well, vaccination can proceed.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxidux Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
When administering Moxidux Dry Syrup for prolonged periods, monitoring kidney and liver function is often advised by your child's doctor.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxidux Dry Syrup to my child?
Providing a dosage exceeding the prescribed amount may increase potential side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult their doctor for reevaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxidux Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not prematurely discontinue Moxidux Dry Syrup unless the full course of treatment has been completed. Even if your child feels better, it's crucial to continue administering the medication for a specified duration as benefits may still persist.
Can the use of Moxidux Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxidux Dry Syrup can induce diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that effectively eliminates harmful bacteria. Furthermore, the medication can potentially disrupt the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If this persists or signs of dehydration appear (e.g., decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), do not administer any additional medications without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While bacterial infections are less frequent following viral ones, it is crucial to avoid using antibiotics unnecessarily. Consulting with your child's doctor is recommended before administering antibiotics for a viral infection.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green discharge from the nose during a common cold is normal and often due to thickening mucus changing color. It's important to note that symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical care if your child experiences signs of a severe allergic reaction (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are serious and require professional intervention.
