How it works
Realclav 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 may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Realclav 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 Realclav 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 ‘expiry’ before giving Realclav Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Realclav 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 Realclav Syrup?
Realclav Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are taking before starting Realclav Syrup. Consult with their healthcare provider for guidance on administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Realclav Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, it's crucial to ensure your child recovers from the illness before receiving any new medications. Once your child feels better, they can be vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Realclav Syrup on a long-term basis?
If treatment with Realclav Syrup is extended for an extended period, periodic kidney and liver function tests may be conducted by the doctor to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Realclav Syrup to my child?
Providing a dosage higher than the prescribed amount for Realclav Syrup can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences an escalation in symptoms, contact your healthcare provider to re-evaluate their condition.
Can I stop giving Realclav Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue administering this medication until the full course of treatment is completed. Even if you observe symptom improvement before complete cure, continue using the prescribed dosage for the entire duration.
Can the use of Realclav Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Realclav Syrup may induce diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that eliminates harmful bacteria. In addition to this effect, the medicine may disrupt beneficial bacteria in your child's gut and result in diarrhea. Encourage your child to consume fluids like water or other liquids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists, consult with a doctor. Avoid giving any medication to your child without seeking expert advice.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not develop into secondary bacterial infections. In addition, administering antibiotics for a viral infection can significantly increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, only use antibiotics after consulting with your child's doctor.
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, nasal mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually subside within 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects require expert care.
