Directions for Use

How it works
Saginox CV Kid Tablet DT 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.

Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Saginox CV Kid Tablet DT until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Saginox CV Kid Tablet DT to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Saginox CV Kid Tablet DT to your child.
