Introduction
Pevimox-CV 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
Pevimox-CV 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 Pevimox-CV 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 Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Pevimox-CV 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 medications be given simultaneously with Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup?
Interactions between Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup and other medications can occur. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup. Also, consult the doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from the illness before receiving a vaccination.
Which laboratory tests may my child undergo while taking Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup for an extended period?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of their condition.
Can I administer a higher dose than recommended for Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop administering Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup to my child once their symptoms subside?
No, do not discontinue the medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may still be fully cured, so continue administering the medication for the prescribed duration.
Can Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Pevimox-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This antibiotic kills harmful bacteria while potentially affecting helpful bacteria in the stomach, leading to diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If symptoms persist and dehydration signs appear (less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Consult a doctor before using antibiotics.
Is yellow-green mucus from my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily require antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any indication that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious.
