How it works
Xyclac Dry 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 must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Xyclac 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 Xyclac Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Xyclac Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Xyclac Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Xyclac Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Xyclac Dry Syrup to my child?

Can the use of Xyclac Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Xyclac Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication may affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and contribute to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids in case of diarrhea. If you notice persistent diarrhea or any signs of dehydration such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, seek advice from your doctor before administering further medications.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold infections don't lead to a secondary bacterial infection. Antibiotics are only necessary after consulting with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge during a common cold is generally normal, as the mucus thickens and changes color. The duration of symptoms typically lasts for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these reactions are serious and necessitate prompt medical attention.
