Introduction
Wilmox-CV Dds 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
Wilmox-CV Dds 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

Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Wilmox-CV Dds Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Wilmox-CV Dds Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Wilmox-CV Dds Oral Suspension to your child.
