How it works
Oxymay Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet 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.

This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

You should immediately contact your child's doctor if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects require prompt expert medical attention.
