Introduction
Wybiclav 228.5 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
Wybiclav 228.5 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 Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension to your child.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension?
Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension may interact with other medicines or substances. Before starting Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension, tell your doctor about all other medications your child is taking. Additionally, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics do not usually interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just received one. However, it is best to avoid giving your child any vaccine until they recover from the illness they are being treated for. Once your child feels better, you can give them their vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Long-term therapy may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop giving this medicine unless you have finished the full course of treatment, even if your child feels better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue to take the medication as prescribed.
Can the use of Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?
Yes, Wybiclav 228.5 Oral Suspension may cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, it can affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids. If the diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), talk to your doctor before giving any other medication without a doctor’s advice.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses usually do not cause secondary bacterial infections. In fact, antibiotic use during viral infections can increase the risk of side effects and complications. Consult your child's doctor before starting 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 your child needs antibiotics. It is normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, lasting around 7-10 days. If you are concerned about any other symptom, contact your doctor.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Contact your child’s doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties or skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert care.
