How it works
Mpx-CV Forte 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup?
Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. It is important to inform your child's doctor about all other medicines they are taking before starting this medication. They can then advise on potential interactions and safe dosage.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup?
While antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines, it is best to wait until the child recovers from any illness before vaccination. Once the child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests may be recommended during prolonged therapy to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup can increase risks and is not recommended. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup before finishing the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue as prescribed by your child's doctor.
Can the use of Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Mpx-CV Forte Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria and also affects the balance of bacteria in your child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not develop into a secondary bacterial infection. Antibiotics are typically not necessary for treating these conditions, as the body usually fights off the virus and resolves on its own.
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 a bacterial infection, which is common during a cold. It is typical for mucus to change color as your child gets better. If the symptoms last longer than 7-10 days, it's important to see your doctor.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child’s doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver problems (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but serious side effects requiring prompt medical care.
