How it works
Stenmox-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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup?
It's essential to consult with your child's doctor before combining any medications, including other over-the-counter or prescribed drugs. This will help prevent potential interactions and ensure the safety of your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup?
Usually, vaccines are safe to administer when using antibiotics. However, it's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding vaccinations and the timing of administration.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term treatment might require periodic kidney function and liver function tests for your child's health monitoring. However, the specific recommendations should be discussed with your doctor.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Never exceed the prescribed dosage of this medication as overdosing can increase the risk of adverse effects. If you notice any worsening symptoms, please contact your doctor for reassessment.
Can I stop giving Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop treatment unless the complete course is completed, even if you observe symptom improvement. The medicine might still be beneficial in the background.
Can the use of Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Stenmox-CV Dry Syrup can sometimes lead to diarrhea due to its effect on harmful bacteria and healthy gut bacteria. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if experiencing this side effect.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Usually, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections in the case of the common cold. While antibiotics should be used only after consultation with your doctor, consult with them about potential complications or other symptoms that may arise.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge doesn't automatically indicate a bacterial infection during a common cold. It's a normal response in most cases. If you notice other symptoms like fever, high temperature, and worsening symptoms for more than 10 days, consult your doctor.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea, and liver damage (such as weakness, paleness, or vomiting) - contact your child's doctor immediately. While rare, these symptoms indicate a need for immediate professional attention.
