Introduction
Siboclav 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. You can give Siboclav Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Siboclav Dry Syrup is to be taken with food.

How it works
Siboclav 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.
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 Siboclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Siboclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Siboclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Siboclav Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medications be taken at the same time as Siboclav Dry Syrup?
It's crucial to tell your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Siboclav Dry Syrup. This includes over-the-counter medicines and supplements. Always consult with a healthcare professional for proper guidance regarding medication administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Siboclav Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, it's essential to ensure your child recovers from the illness before receiving any further vaccinations. Once symptoms subside, consult your child's doctor for scheduling the vaccine.
What lab tests might be necessary during long-term Siboclav Dry Syrup therapy?
Periodically, a doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition when using Siboclav Dry Syrup for extended periods.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Siboclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult your doctor for an evaluation.
Can I stop giving Siboclav Dry Syrup when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop giving this medication to your child without following the prescribed course of treatment. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured, so continuing the medicine for the full duration is crucial.
Can Siboclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Siboclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that fights harmful bacteria and may also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult your doctor for guidance.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics to children with a viral cold can increase their risk of side effects. Always consult your child's doctor before using antibiotics for any condition.
My child has yellow-green mucus from his nose, does this indicate a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose is not a sign of a bacterial infection. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken up and change color (from clear to yellow or green). Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any indication that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require prompt medical intervention.
