How it works
Nitoclav 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Nitoclav Dry Syrup?
Nitoclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Tell your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting Nitoclav Dry Syrup. Check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nitoclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in children recently vaccinated. However, children receiving antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they are fully recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nitoclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term use of Nitoclav Dry Syrup may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function to ensure your child's health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Nitoclav Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not safe to exceed the recommended dosage. Giving a higher dose of this medicine may increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences an aggravation of symptoms, please consult with your doctor.
Can I stop giving Nitoclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop administering this medication until the full course of treatment is completed, even if you feel better. It’s possible for symptoms to improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue using the medicine until the prescribed duration to ensure that any remaining benefits from it are realized.
Can the use of Nitoclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Nitoclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because the medication kills harmful bacteria in the body and may also affect the good bacteria that help with digestion. To alleviate this, encourage your child to drink lots of fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Never administer any other medicine without a doctor’s guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to bacterial infections. It's crucial to avoid giving antibiotics to children with viral infections, as they can increase the risk of side effects. Only use antibiotics after consulting your child’s doctor if a bacterial infection is confirmed.
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. 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?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea) or liver damage (paleness, weakness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects can be serious and require professional intervention.
