Introduction
Styclav DS Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is particularly useful in treating infections that have become resistant to other antibiotics, including certain cases of tuberculosis. The medicine contains two active ingredients, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, which work together to kill bacteria and inhibit their growth. While it is generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant. Side effects may include a bitter taste, diarrhea, and in rare cases, allergic reactions such as itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Always consult a doctor before starting this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Styclav DS Dry Syrup to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve. Do not use for future illnesses without consulting a doctor.
How it works
Styclav DS Dry Syrup contains amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Styclav DS 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 Styclav DS Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. You must also never share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Styclav DS Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Styclav DS Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Styclav DS Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Styclav DS Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Styclav DS Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Styclav DS Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Styclav DS Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Styclav DS Dry Syrup, usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Styclav DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Styclav DS Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Styclav DS Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Styclav DS 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 Styclav DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Styclav DS Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Styclav DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Styclav DS 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?
No, most viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used under the guidance of your child's doctor, as giving antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects.
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). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require prompt medical attention.
