How it works
Orntin 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Orntin Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Orntin Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Orntin Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interact with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Orntin Dry Syrup for an extended period?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be necessary to ensure your child's condition remains stable during prolonged therapy.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Orntin Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Orntin Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continuing the medicine may still provide beneficial effects.
Can Orntin Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Orntin Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give your child any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
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.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately 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 medical attention.
