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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken alongside Myclav Dry Syrup?
Myclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Myclav Dry Syrup, and consult with their doctor before giving any additional medication to your child.
Can my child receive a vaccine while on treatment with Myclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccines until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What laboratory tests may my child undergo while on long-term Myclav Dry Syrup treatment?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to track your child's condition.
Can I give a higher dose of Myclav Dry Syrup than recommended to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Should I stop giving Myclav Dry Syrup to my child when symptoms improve?
No, do not discontinue this medicine unless the full treatment course is complete, even if symptoms seem better. The infection may be fully cured before symptoms subside, so continue administering the medication for the prescribed duration.
Can using Myclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Myclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and affects beneficial bacteria in the stomach, leading to gastrointestinal disturbances. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids, and consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or signs of dehydration appear.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Typically, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of adverse effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
What does yellow-green mucus from my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose during a common cold is normal, and symptoms often last 7-10 days. Antibiotics are not necessary for this condition.
Is there any sign that requires immediate medical attention for my child?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require prompt expert care.
