Short Description

Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is particularly useful in treating infections that have become resistant to other antibiotics, including certain cases of tuberculosis. The medicine contains two active ingredients, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to kill bacteria and prevent their growth. While it is generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to avoid the risk of bacterial resistance. Side effects may include a bitter taste, diarrhea, and in rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve.
How it works
Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival, while clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Nourclav Forte 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 Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Nourclav Forte 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 Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to my child?
No, it is not recommended to give a higher dose of Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to your child, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment with Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medication prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Nourclav Forte Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to the antibiotic's ability to kill harmful bacteria. Additionally, the medicine may affect the helpful 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, consult your doctor, especially if you notice signs of dehydration such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only 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 in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often 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 serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require expert attention.
