Introduction
Spinclav 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
Spinclav 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 Spinclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Spinclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Spinclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Spinclav Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Spinclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Spinclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Spinclav Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Spinclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be necessary during prolonged therapy to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Spinclav Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Spinclav Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Spinclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Spinclav Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve. Stopping the medication prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Spinclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Spinclav Dry 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, ensure they drink plenty of fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects. Always consult your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
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, it is common for mucus to thicken and change color. 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). These side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
