Introduction
Pureclav 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. You can give Pureclav Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

How it works
Pureclav 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 Pureclav 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 Pureclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Pureclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Pureclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Pureclav Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Pureclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about all other medications being used before starting Pureclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pureclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction. However, children should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from any illness before vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pureclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be performed by the physician to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Pureclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than the recommended amount for Pureclav Dry Syrup can increase potential side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Pureclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medicine unless the entire course of treatment has been completed. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue using the medication for its full duration as it could still provide beneficial effects.
Can the use of Pureclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Pureclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it is an antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria. Furthermore, this medicine may affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. Consult a doctor if diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration like infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not administer any other medication without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most bacterial infections do not follow viral infections, it is important to consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics as they 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 a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus thickens and can change 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?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These side effects are rare but significant and require expert intervention.
