Introduction
Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg 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
Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup?
It's essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup may interact with other substances.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup long-term?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg 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 Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup to my child when 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 Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxydoc CV 400mg/57mg Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can affect helpful bacteria in the stomach. If diarrhea persists, consult your doctor, and encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor, as they can increase the risk of side effects when used unnecessarily.
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's 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?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
