How it works
Origam-CV Oral Suspension 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 Origam-CV Oral Suspension. 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 Origam-CV Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Origam-CV Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Origam-CV Oral Suspension?
Origam-CV Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Origam-CV Oral Suspension. Your child's healthcare provider can provide guidance on medication combinations and potential interactions.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Origam-CV Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not affect the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, it's best to wait for your child to recover from illness before administering a vaccine. Consult your child's healthcare provider for guidance after recovery.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Origam-CV Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function is often recommended during prolonged antibiotic therapy. Your doctor will determine the specific frequency based on your child's individual needs.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Origam-CV Oral Suspension to my child?
It's crucial not to exceed the recommended dosage. Higher doses can increase the risk of side effects and should be avoided unless directed by your healthcare provider.
Can I stop giving Origam-CV Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue the medication without a doctor's order. Even if you feel better, symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared. Therefore, continue the prescribed course of treatment as directed by your healthcare provider.
Can the use of Origam-CV Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Origam-CV Oral Suspension can lead to diarrhea. This is a common side effect, as the medicine works by eliminating harmful bacteria. It may also impact the good bacteria in your child's stomach, causing diarrhoea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult your healthcare provider if it persists or if you notice signs of dehydration, such as reduced urine frequency with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not necessitate a secondary bacterial infection. Antibiotics should only be used when specifically prescribed by your child's healthcare provider after confirming the presence of a bacterial infection. It is crucial to avoid using antibiotics unnecessarily.
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 does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During a typical cold, the mucus changes in consistency and color to become thicker and more yellowish/greenish. Symptoms usually resolve within 7-10 days. Keep in mind that these symptoms are common in viral colds.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should immediately contact your child's healthcare provider if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea, vomiting), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are uncommon side effects but require immediate medical evaluation.
