Introduction
Sensiclav 125 mg/31.25 mg 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. This medication contains two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to prevent the formation of the bacterial cell wall and inhibit an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria. It is important to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant.

How it works
Sensiclav 125 mg/31.25 mg Syrup contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival, while clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against many infections.

Yes, Sensiclav 125 mg/31.25 mg Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

No, most viral infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, giving antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only 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 the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color, and symptoms often 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 infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require prompt medical attention.
