Introduction
Ufeclav Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic medicine designed to combat bacterial infections in multiple areas of the body such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly useful in treating bacteria that have developed resistance to other treatments, including resistant tuberculosis. It is crucial to complete the full course of this antibiotic to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. This medication should only be used under a doctor's prescription and should not be shared with others, even if they exhibit similar symptoms.
Directions for Use
Administer Ufeclav Dry Syrup to your child as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed to prevent bacterial resistance.
How it works
Ufeclav Dry Syrup contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival, while clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase produced by resistant bacteria, making this 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 Ufeclav 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 Ufeclav 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 Ufeclav 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 Ufeclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Ufeclav 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 I give other medicines to my child at the same time as Ufeclav Dry Syrup?
Yes, you can give other medicines to your child at the same time as Ufeclav Dry Syrup. However, it is essential to inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Ufeclav Dry Syrup. You should also check with your child's doctor before giving any new medicine to your child.
Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Ufeclav Dry Syrup?
Yes, antibiotics like Ufeclav Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ufeclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to keep an eye on their condition. This is a standard practice to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Can I give a higher dose of Ufeclav Dry Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of Ufeclav Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Ufeclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Hence, continue giving the medicine for the due course as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can Ufeclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Ufeclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea. This is because antibiotics can kill not only harmful bacteria but also the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to an imbalance that may cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids to stay hydrated. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, talk to your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. So, use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow or green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
What signs indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child's doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need an expert's attention.
