Introduction
Zocovic Dry Syrup is an effective antibiotic medicine designed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is particularly useful for infections in the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. This medication is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other treatments, making it a valuable option for treating resistant tuberculosis. While it is generally well-tolerated, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
Directions for Use
Administer Zocovic Dry Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics to prevent bacterial resistance.
How it works
Zocovic Dry Syrup contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making this combination effective against 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, become resistant, or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Zocovic 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 Zocovic Dry Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else, even if they show similar symptoms. Do not use Zocovic Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check the expiry date before giving Zocovic Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Zocovic 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 medicines be given at the same time as Zocovic Dry Syrup?
Zocovic Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Zocovic Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child’s healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zocovic Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, it is advisable to delay vaccination until your child recovers from the illness. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Zocovic Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged treatment, periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be recommended by the doctor to assess your child’s condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Zocovic Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than the recommended amount can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, please consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Zocovic Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medicine until the full course of treatment is completed, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue administering the medication for the designated period as it may still be providing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Zocovic Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Zocovic Dry Syrup can lead to diarrhea. This is because the antibiotic works by killing harmful bacteria in the body. Furthermore, it may also affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult your doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, antibiotics can increase the risk of side effects in case of a viral infection. Consult with your child's doctor before using 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 does not automatically indicate that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, the mucus may thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child’s doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are potentially dangerous and require expert intervention.
