How it works
Nicmox-CL 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 may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup. 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 Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup 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 Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any other medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics 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 recovers from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Prolonged therapy may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage can increase the risk of adverse effects. If you notice increased severity of symptoms, consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Continue administering the medicine until the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve before being fully cured. Stopping prematurely may compromise the effectiveness of the medication.
Can the use of Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Nicmox-CL Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibacterial properties affecting helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if diarrhea occurs. If symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration, such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult with your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics in cases of viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Only use antibiotics after consulting 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 does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, thickening and changing color are normal symptoms that often resolve on their own within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert attention.
