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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup?
Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in a child who has just received one. However, it is recommended to wait until your child recovers from illness before getting vaccinated. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function in children taking long-term therapy for Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup. This helps ensure their health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than recommended dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, contact your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medication unless the full course of treatment is completed, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue the medication for its designated duration as it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxiforce-CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (e.g., less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. In fact, prescribing antibiotics for a viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Please consult your child's doctor for antibiotic use only after a proper diagnosis.
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 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?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences signs of a serious allergic reaction (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects require the expertise of a healthcare professional.
