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

Frequently asked questions
What other medications can be taken with Viboxy CV Oral Suspension?
Viboxy CV Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting treatment with Viboxy CV Oral Suspension. Also, consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Viboxy CV Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics like Viboxy CV Oral Suspension usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics delay vaccination until they have recovered from their illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What laboratory tests may my child undergo while on long-term treatment with Viboxy CV Oral Suspension?
During prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Viboxy CV Oral Suspension than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of Viboxy CV Oral Suspension than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
When should I stop giving my child Viboxy CV Oral Suspension if they are feeling better?
Do not stop giving this medication to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if their symptoms improve. The infection may be fully cured despite improving symptoms, so it's essential to continue the medicine for the prescribed duration.
Can Viboxy CV Oral Suspension cause diarrhea in my child?
Yes, Viboxy CV Oral Suspension can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic nature, which kills harmful bacteria but also affects beneficial bacteria in the stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Monitor for signs of dehydration and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics.
Is yellow or green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
When should I seek immediate medical attention for my child?
Seek emergency care if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require prompt attention from a medical expert.
