Introduction
Serchmox-CV 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
Serchmox-CV 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
What interactions can occur with other medicines when giving Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting treatment. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can my child be vaccinated while on antibiotic treatment with Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics delay vaccination until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may be required for my child on long-term Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup treatment?
Prolonged therapy may involve monitoring kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher dose of Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup than recommended to my child?
No, administering a higher dose can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course is completed, even if symptoms seem to have improved. The infection may still be active, and the medication may continue to provide benefits.
Can Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Serchmox-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which kill harmful bacteria but also affect beneficial bacteria in the stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult with your doctor if symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics in viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
Is yellow-green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics, as it is common during a viral cold. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
What signs require immediate medical attention from my child?
Seek immediate attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious.
