How it works
Moxidux Oral Drops 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 Moxidux Oral Drops. 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 Moxidux Oral Drops until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Moxidux Oral Drops to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses.

Frequently asked questions
Are there any other medications that can be taken at the same time as Moxidux Oral Drops?
It is important to inform your child's doctor about all medications being taken, including over-the-counter drugs or supplements, before starting Moxidux Oral Drops. Their guidance on combining medications is essential.
Can my child receive a vaccination while taking Moxidux Oral Drops?
Generally, vaccines do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children already under treatment for an illness. However, vaccination should be delayed until your child has recovered from their condition. After they feel better, you can administer the vaccine. Consult your child's doctor for guidance on timing based on individual circumstances.
What laboratory tests may be needed if my child is taking Moxidux Oral Drops long-term?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests are sometimes performed to monitor a child's overall health while on long-term treatment with Moxidux Oral Drops. This helps ensure the medication is not causing any significant side effects.
Can higher doses of Moxidux Oral Drops be given, and what should I do if my child experiences more symptoms?
Giving a higher dose than recommended for Moxidux Oral Drops can increase the risk of side effects. It's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage as advised by your child's doctor. In case of increased symptom severity, consult your child’s doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxidux Oral Drops once symptoms improve?
No, it is crucial not to discontinue Moxidux Oral Drops before the full course of treatment has been completed even if you notice improvement. The symptoms might subside earlier than the complete eradication of the infection. Therefore, continue administering the medication as prescribed by your child's doctor.
Can Moxidux Oral Drops cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Moxidux Oral Drops can sometimes lead to diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria. However, antibiotic use often disrupts beneficial bacteria within the stomach and may lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If it persists or you notice signs like decreased urination with dark and foul-smelling urine, seek medical guidance before administering any other medication.
Do all viral colds always lead to bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by your child's doctor after a confirmed diagnosis of a bacterial infection in the presence of clear symptoms.
Is yellow or green mucus from my child’s nose always a sign of bacteria?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is not necessarily a sign of bacterial infection. It is a normal part of common cold progression and typically resolves within 7-10 days.
When should I seek immediate medical attention for my child?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), it's crucial to call your child's doctor immediately. These conditions can cause significant complications and require expert medical attention.
