Short Description

Dry Syrup
Introduction
Proclav Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas of the body such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly useful in treating bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. While it is generally safe, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying or causing another infection. Side effects may include a bitter taste in the mouth, and in rare cases, an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties, which should be reported to a doctor immediately.
Directions for Use
Administer Proclav Dry Syrup to your child as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Proclav Dry Syrup contains two active ingredients: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making this combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Proclav 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 Proclav Dry Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Proclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check the expiry date before giving Proclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Proclav 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 Proclav Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Proclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Proclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Proclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Proclav Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Proclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition is being effectively managed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Proclav Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Proclav Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Proclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Proclav Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Proclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Proclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, ensure they drink plenty of fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
No, most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor, as using them unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects.
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 the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is common for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require prompt medical attention.
