How it works
Rigoclav 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.

Can I administer vaccinations to my child while on treatment with Rigoclav Dry Syrup?

However, it is advisable to delay administering vaccines until your child has recovered from the illness for which they are taking Rigoclav Dry Syrup.

Can I stop giving Rigoclav Dry Syrup when my child’s symptoms are relieved?

Does Rigoclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in children?
Yes, Rigoclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. As an antibiotic that eliminates harmful bacteria, this medication also affects the delicate balance of good bacteria present in your child's stomach and may trigger diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids, and if diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urination, dark-colored and foul-smelling urine), consult your doctor before administering any other medications.
Does all viral common colds inevitably result in secondary bacterial infections?
While most viral common colds do not develop secondary bacterial infections, antibiotics are to be used only when prescribed by a healthcare professional and after consulting with your child's doctor. It is important to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use.
What signs indicate that my child might need immediate medical attention?
You should immediately seek medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects can be rare but are serious and require the expertise of a doctor.
