Introduction
Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. 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.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg 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 my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup?

What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop administering this medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue giving the medication for the prescribed duration as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Romox CL 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria, and the medication may also affect helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, causing diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor. Do not give any other medication without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow or green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
What signs indicate immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need an expert's attention.
