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

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Sunyclav Dry Syrup?
Sunyclav Dry Syrup may interact with certain medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Sunyclav Dry Syrup. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sunyclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they recover from the infection. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Sunyclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor might order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during prolonged therapy with Sunyclav Dry Syrup.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Sunyclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose than the recommended dosage can increase the risk of adverse effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, consult your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Sunyclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not stop giving this medication without completing the full course. Even if you feel better, symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared. Continue using Sunyclav Dry Syrup as prescribed for the complete course of treatment.
Can the use of Sunyclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Sunyclav Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea. This antibiotic targets harmful bacteria and may also affect the balance of good bacteria in your child's stomach, resulting in diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids in such cases. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like less frequent urination with dark-colored, foul-smelling urine, consult a doctor before giving any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most viral infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, treating viral infections with antibiotics can potentially increase the risk of side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional 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 a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change from clear to yellow or green as a normal part of the healing process. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention immediately if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these adverse effects are serious and require prompt intervention from a healthcare professional.
