How it works
Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?

Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?

Can I stop giving Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Can the use of Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Nimclav Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet can cause diarrhea. This medication works by killing harmful bacteria in your child's body.

Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold cases do not require antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics should be used only after consultation with the child’s doctor. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects.
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 mean a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your doctor immediately if you notice serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are rare but can be dangerous. Consult a doctor in any case of side effects.
