How it works
Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid.

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 given at the same time as Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension?
Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your healthcare provider about all medications your child is taking before starting this treatment. It's also crucial to consult with your child’s doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is best to postpone vaccination until after your child has recovered from any illness they may have. Once they are feeling better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function through blood tests is necessary during extended therapy, as recommended by the healthcare provider.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension to my child?
Giving a higher dosage of this medication can increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult their healthcare provider for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop administering this medicine unless you have completed the full course of treatment, even if your child feels better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely eradicated. Continue with the prescribed dosage for the entire duration, as it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Proteclav Dds 457 Oral Suspension can cause diarrhea. It is a powerful antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria and may also affect the good bacteria in your child’s stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists, and you notice signs of dehydration like less urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a healthcare provider before giving any other medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. It is best to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use during viral infections. Always consult your child's doctor before giving antibiotics.
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 mean that antibiotics are needed for a viral cold. During a typical common cold, mucus thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are critical and require expert intervention.
