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.
Directions for Use

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.

Check ‘expiry’ before giving Siboclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Siboclav Dry Syrup?
It's important to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are currently taking before starting Siboclav Dry Syrup. Consulting with a healthcare professional is crucial for ensuring compatibility and minimizing potential interactions.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Siboclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it is recommended to avoid administering the vaccine until your child recovers fully from the illness. Once symptoms subside, vaccination can proceed.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Siboclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
In cases of prolonged treatment, periodic monitoring for kidney and liver function can be necessary to ensure the patient's health status. This is typically done as part of routine checkups.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Siboclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medication can potentially increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for an evaluation.
Can I stop giving Siboclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It's crucial not to discontinue Siboclav Dry Syrup before completing the full prescribed dosage. Even if you feel better, it may be working for a longer time and still prevent infection from spreading fully.
Can the use of Siboclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Siboclav Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic properties, which can also disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's gut, leading to this side effect. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids if experiencing diarrhea.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before administering antibiotics. Antibiotics should only be used when medically necessary under the guidance of a doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. It's typical for mucus to change color and thicken during a common cold. Symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical assistance. These are potentially serious side effects that require urgent expert attention.
