Introduction
Oxylav 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
Oxylav 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 Oxylav 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 Oxylav DS Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Oxylav DS Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Oxylav DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Oxylav 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 Oxylav DS Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking before starting Oxylav DS Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any other medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Oxylav DS Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics like Oxylav DS Dry Syrup do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics wait until they recover from their illness before receiving a vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Oxylav DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to track their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Oxylav DS Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher-than-recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Oxylav DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue giving this medication to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you notice an improvement in symptoms. The infection may still be active, and continuing the medicine for the prescribed duration ensures its effectiveness.
Can the use of Oxylav DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Oxylav DS Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria while also affecting beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult with their doctor if symptoms persist or you notice signs of dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects, so it's essential to consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication.
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 that 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.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting).
