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.

Safety Information
Side Effects
No common side effects listed.
How it works
Rinoclav 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.
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 Rinoclav 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 Rinoclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Rinoclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Rinoclav Dry Syrup?
Use of Rinoclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to consult your doctor before giving any medicine to your child, especially if they are already taking other medications.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Rinoclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and generally don't cause adverse reactions in children. However, it is recommended that you wait for your child to recover from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once they feel better, consult with a healthcare provider about whether vaccination is safe.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Rinoclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term therapy may warrant periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests for your child's health evaluation.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Rinoclav Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dose of this medication. Giving more than the prescribed dosage may increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, please consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Rinoclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue the medication without consulting a healthcare professional unless the full treatment course is complete. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eradicated. It's crucial to continue administering the medication for the prescribed duration, as it may still be providing benefits.
Can the use of Rinoclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Rinoclav Dry Syrup might cause diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that fights harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medicine may disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, potentially leading to diarrhea. Encourage hydration by providing ample water or other fluids if experiencing diarrhea. If the situation persists and you observe signs of dehydration (e.g., reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a medical professional before administering any additional medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to bacterial infections. It is important to note that antibiotics are only used if the condition progresses to a bacterial infection after a viral one.
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 is not always a sign of a bacterial infection. It's a common feature during colds, as the mucus tends to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms typically last for 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 problems like diarrhea, or signs of liver damage such as weakness, paleness, and vomiting. These symptoms are rare but require expert care.
