Introduction
Moxyben Oral Suspension 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension 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.

How it works
Moxyben Oral Suspension 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension. 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Moxyben Oral Suspension 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 Moxyben Oral Suspension?
It is crucial to discuss with your child's doctor about potential interactions between Moxyben Oral Suspension and any existing medications. Always inform your child's healthcare provider of all other medicines being taken before starting treatment with Moxyben Oral Suspension. This ensures appropriate dosage adjustments or avoidance if necessary.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxyben Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children after vaccination. However, it's essential to consult your child's doctor before administering any medication unless they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxyben Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests may be ordered during prolonged treatment with Moxyben Oral Suspension to monitor your child's overall condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxyben Oral Suspension to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than the recommended amount for Moxyben Oral Suspension can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxyben Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment has been completed. Symptoms may improve before complete bacterial elimination, and continued use ensures proper recovery.
Can Moxyben Oral Suspension cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Moxyben Oral Suspension can sometimes lead to diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties. It may also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in your child's stomach, causing this symptom. Encourage hydration by offering plenty of fluids to your child if they experience diarrhea. If you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, seek medical advice from your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold symptoms don't automatically lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics are typically reserved for cases where a bacterial component has been confirmed by a medical professional, and they should only be prescribed after consultation 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 doesn't automatically indicate a bacterial infection. It's usually a result of common cold symptoms like increased mucus production. These changes often occur for 7-10 days as the body fights off the virus.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These potential side effects are serious and need expert medical intervention.
