How it works
Techmox 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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Techmox 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 Techmox Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Techmox Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Techmox Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Techmox Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Techmox Dry Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Techmox Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication to ensure safe co-administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Techmox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Techmox Dry Syrup generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Techmox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Prolonged therapy with Techmox Dry Syrup may require monitoring of kidney and liver function tests periodically to assess your child's condition effectively.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Techmox Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If you notice increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Techmox Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, discontinue the medication only after completing the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue administering the medicine for the recommended duration as it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Techmox Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, this medication can cause diarrhea due to its effect on both harmful and helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or you notice signs of dehydration like infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. 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 doesn't necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must contact your child's doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are severe and require expert attention.
