Introduction
Netclav 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
Netclav 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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken simultaneously with Netclav Dry Syrup?
Netclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are currently taking before starting Netclav Dry Syrup. Check with your child's doctor for guidance on administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Netclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is advisable to postpone vaccination until the child has recovered from the illness and feels better. Once your child recovers, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests should I consider during long-term treatment with Netclav Dry Syrup?
Periodically, during prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure proper health check-ups for your child.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Netclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than prescribed dosage of this medication could increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an increase in symptoms, consult their doctor for a re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Netclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Netclav Dry Syrup unless the complete treatment course is finished. Even if you feel better, it's crucial to continue medication for the prescribed duration as it may still be delivering beneficial effects.
Can Netclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Netclav Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic properties which kill harmful bacteria and can also affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists, talk to a doctor; avoid administering any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most commonly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics for a viral infection could increase your child's risk of side effects. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your doctor.
What does the yellow-green mucus coming out of my child’s nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is not necessarily a sign that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
What are the signs of my child needing immediate medical attention?
It's crucial to contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are significant and require the attention of a medical professional.
