Introduction
Moxlate Duo 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. You can give Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup is to be taken with food.

How it works
Moxlate Duo 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Moxlate Duo 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 Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Moxlate Duo 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 ‘expiry’ before giving Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before giving any medication to your child to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup?
Typically, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from the illness. As soon as they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
To monitor their condition during prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may periodically perform kidney and liver function tests to ensure their well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation and proper guidance.
Can I stop giving Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial not to discontinue treatment until the full course of therapy is complete, even if symptoms improve. Stopping medication prematurely may allow the infection to persist, and the medicine's beneficial effects may be compromised.
Can the use of Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxlate Duo Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria while potentially affecting helpful bacteria in the stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If symptoms persist and dehydration signs appear (less frequent urination with dark-colored, strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor for guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Consult with their doctor before using antibiotics.
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 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.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt expert attention.
