How it works
Ubiclav 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 may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Ubiclav 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. Do not give Ubiclav 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 Ubiclav Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Ubiclav 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 Ubiclav Syrup?
Ubiclav Syrup may interact with some other medications. Before starting this medication, tell your doctor about all the other medicines your child is taking. Also, consult your child's doctor before giving any new medicine to them.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ubiclav Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children recently vaccinated. However, it's best to delay the vaccine until your child recovers from their illness before starting treatment. After your child is feeling better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ubiclav Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable during prolonged treatment with Ubiclav Syrup.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Ubiclav Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences worsened symptoms, please consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Ubiclav Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop this medicine until the full course of treatment is completed. Even if you feel better, the symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Continue taking this medication for the entire prescribed duration as it might still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Ubiclav Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Ubiclav Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body. It can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration (less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), do not give your child any other medication without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, giving antibiotics in these cases can increase your child's risk of developing side effects, so always consult a doctor for guidance.
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 automatically indicate that antibiotics are needed. During common colds, mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate help from a doctor if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These are serious side effects that require urgent medical attention.
