How it works
Qukmox 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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Qukmox Dry Syrup?
Qukmox Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Tell your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting Qukmox Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Qukmox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, it is essential to wait until your child recovers from the illness before administering any vaccine. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Qukmox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
In cases of prolonged therapy, periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be recommended by the doctor to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Qukmox Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving more than the recommended dose can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Qukmox Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue Qukmox Dry Syrup without consulting your doctor unless you complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared. Continue taking the medicine until completion.
Can the use of Qukmox Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Qukmox Dry Syrup can sometimes lead to diarrhea. This medication is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria and may also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, causing diarrhea. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration like decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before administering any additional medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not develop secondary bacterial infections. In fact, antibiotics should only be used after consulting your child's doctor in cases where a bacterial infection is suspected. Antibiotic use in viral infections 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?
Thickening and yellow or green mucus in the nose during a common cold is typically a normal response to infection, and it is not always indicative of bacterial infection. The symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (severe diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) - call your child's doctor immediately. While rare, these side effects can be life-threatening and require expert medical attention.
