Introduction
Moxirid CV Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to other treatments, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. As with all antibiotics, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Side effects may include a bitter taste, and in rare cases, allergic reactions such as itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Always consult a doctor before administering this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer Moxirid CV Dry Syrup as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Moxirid CV Dry Syrup contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Moxirid CV 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 Moxirid CV Dry Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else. Do not use Moxirid CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check the expiry date before giving Moxirid CV Dry Syrup to your child. Discard all expired medicines. Stop Moxirid CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Moxirid CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moxirid CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Moxirid CV Dry Syrup may interact with other substances.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Moxirid CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before receiving a vaccine.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxirid CV Dry Syrup for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Moxirid CV Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of Moxirid CV Dry Syrup can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxirid CV Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving Moxirid CV Dry Syrup to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if their symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continuing the medicine may still provide beneficial effects.
Can Moxirid CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxirid CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because the antibiotic 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. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give your child any other medicine 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.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose 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 color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require medical attention.
