Dry Syrup
Introduction
Pureclav Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas 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 resistant tuberculosis as well. The medication contains two active ingredients, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to inhibit bacterial growth and survival. While generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying or becoming resistant. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or sharing this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer Pureclav Dry Syrup as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Pureclav Dry Syrup contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival, while clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the 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 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 unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Pureclav 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 Pureclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pureclav Dry Syrup?
Pureclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Pureclav Dry Syrup, tell your child's healthcare provider about all other medications your child is taking. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pureclav Dry Syrup?
While antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines, it's generally recommended that children avoid receiving vaccinations until they are completely recovered from an illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered after consulting a doctor or healthcare provider.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pureclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, a doctor might conduct kidney and liver function tests to monitor the effects of prolonged antibiotic therapy on your child's overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Pureclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving an excess dose of this medicine may increase the risk of adverse reactions. If you notice any worsening of symptoms, please contact your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Pureclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue this medicine before finishing the prescribed course even if symptoms improve. The infection may still be healing, and continuing the treatment can help ensure complete recovery.
Can the use of Pureclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Pureclav Dry Syrup might lead to diarrhea. This is due to the antibiotic's ability to kill harmful bacteria in addition to its effects on the good bacteria in your child's stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infection, it is important to remember that antibiotics are prescribed for bacterial infections only. Using antibiotics without a doctor's consultation can increase the risk of adverse 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 bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can change color and become thicker. This is normal, and symptoms typically resolve within 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical assistance if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These symptoms can indicate a serious problem and require expert intervention.
