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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Moximet CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moximet CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Moximet CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually 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 the illness before receiving a vaccine.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moximet CV Dry Syrup for an extended period?
Prolonged therapy may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Moximet CV Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moximet CV Dry Syrup to my child once their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continuing the medicine may still be beneficial.
Can Moximet CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moximet CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can affect the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists, consult your doctor about signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. 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 the risk of 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 indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken 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.
