How it works
Zimcox 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zimcox CV Dry Syrup?
Zimcox CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Zimcox CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult their doctor regarding administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zimcox CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, it's essential to avoid vaccination until the child recovers from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Zimcox CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term therapy with Zimcox CV Dry Syrup may necessitate periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to evaluate your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Zimcox CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, contact their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Zimcox CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless the full course of treatment has been completed, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eradicated. Hence, continue taking the medicine as prescribed.
Can the use of Zimcox CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Zimcox CV Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic nature; it kills harmful bacteria and potentially disrupts the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink fluids like water or other beverages. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult their doctor before administering any additional medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, antibiotics are typically not necessary in these cases. If antibiotics are prescribed for a viral infection by your doctor, please follow their instructions carefully. Using antibiotics without explicit medical guidance can increase the risk of side effects.
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 indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus tends to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should immediately contact your child's doctor if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) and signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are significant and require professional medical intervention.
