Introduction
Omexin DS 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
Omexin DS 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 must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Omexin DS 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 Omexin DS Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Omexin DS Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Omexin DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Omexin DS 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 Omexin DS Dry Syrup?
Omexin DS Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting treatment, it's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medicines they are taking. This will help ensure a safe and effective use of the medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Omexin DS Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after receiving them. However, if your child is currently taking antibiotics, it's essential to consult their doctor before administering any new vaccinations until the illness has resolved.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Omexin DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
When undergoing prolonged treatment with Omexin DS Dry Syrup, periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function is recommended by the doctor to assess your child's overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Omexin DS Dry Syrup to my child?
Administering a dose higher than the prescribed amount can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, contact your doctor for re-evaluation and possible adjustments.
Can I stop giving Omexin DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you've followed the complete course as directed by your doctor. Even if symptoms improve before infection resolution, continue the prescribed treatment duration to ensure the best possible outcome.
Can the use of Omexin DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Omexin DS Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication can disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, potentially leading to diarrhea. Encourage drinking plenty of fluids if your child experiences diarrhea. If symptoms persist or you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, contact your doctor before administering any other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not develop following viral infections. However, it's crucial to consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics in a viral condition to avoid potential complications.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge doesn't necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During common colds, mucus thickness can change, becoming from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects require expert care and prompt intervention.
