Introduction
Moxiflan 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
Moxiflan 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains under control.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher than recommended dose of Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup 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. Continue giving the medicine for the recommended duration, as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxiflan CL Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because the medicine kills harmful bacteria, which can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor. 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. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. 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 necessarily 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.
Is there any sign which shows that 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). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require immediate medical attention.
