Introduction
Zoeclav 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
Zoeclav 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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Zoeclav Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Zoeclav Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Zoeclav Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zoeclav Dry Syrup?
Zoeclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. It is important to inform your child's doctor about all the medicines your child is taking before starting Zoeclav Dry Syrup. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zoeclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a vaccinated child. However, children should not be vaccinated until they have recovered from the illness they were treated for. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can then be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Zoeclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, a doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Zoeclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Zoeclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop giving this medication to your child unless you have finished the full course of treatment, even if they feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured. Therefore, continue taking the medicine as prescribed by your doctor.
Can the use of Zoeclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Zoeclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, the medication may affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration (such as decreased urine frequency with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), please consult a doctor before giving your child any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds do not lead to bacterial infections. Giving antibiotics during a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects and complications. Therefore, use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
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 necessarily mean a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are generally not necessary during a common cold. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes 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 call your child's doctor immediately if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or signs of liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert medical care.
