Introduction
Zerimox CV Dry Syrup 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
Zerimox CV 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 Zerimox CV 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 Zerimox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Zerimox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Zerimox CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Zerimox CV 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 other medications be given simultaneously with Zerimox CV Dry Syrup?
Interactions between Zerimox CV Dry Syrup and other medications or substances can occur. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before initiating treatment with Zerimox CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with the doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I schedule a vaccination for my child while they are on treatment with Zerimox CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccination can be administered.
Which laboratory tests may my child undergo while on prolonged treatment with Zerimox CV Dry Syrup?
During long-term therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I administer a higher dose of Zerimox CV Dry Syrup than recommended for my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of Zerimox CV Dry Syrup can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences intensified symptoms, consult with your doctor to reassess their treatment.
Can I stop giving Zerimox CV Dry Syrup to my child once their symptoms subside?
No, do not discontinue medication unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if your child's symptoms appear to have improved. The infection may still be present, and continued treatment can prevent complications.
Does Zerimox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea as a side effect?
Yes, Zerimox CV Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which not only kill harmful bacteria but also affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. If diarrhea occurs, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult with your doctor if diarrhea persists and signs of dehydration are observed.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Typically, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Administering antibiotics for a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Does yellow-green mucus from my child's nose signify a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any indicator that my child requires immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are severe and require professional attention.
