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

Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on medication administration for your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it's crucial to ensure that your child recovers from the illness before receiving any additional medication. Once their condition improves, the doctor can advise on administering vaccines.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, doctors may order kidney and liver function tests if your child is undergoing prolonged treatment with Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup. This helps monitor their condition over time.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
It's not recommended to exceed the prescribed dosage for Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup. Higher doses can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences intensified symptoms, contact their doctor for an evaluation.
Can I stop giving Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup without finishing the full course of treatment. Even if your child feels better, it's essential to continue taking the medication as it may still provide beneficial effects.
Can the use of Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Tanoxy-CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It works by killing harmful bacteria in the body and this process might affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach causing diarrhea. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids to alleviate diarrhea discomfort. If they experience persistent diarrhea, it is crucial to consult a doctor as it may indicate dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should be used only after consulting your child's doctor, only when deemed necessary.
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 isn't necessarily a sign of a bacterial infection, especially during a common cold. While it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color during this time (from clear to yellow or green), symptoms typically resolve within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention in case of serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (e.g., weakness, pallor, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects require prompt attention from healthcare professionals.
