Introduction
Zymox-CV Oral Suspension 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
Zymox-CV Oral Suspension 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 Zymox-CV Oral Suspension until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Zymox-CV Oral Suspension 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.

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Zymox-CV Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
While using Zymox-CV Oral Suspension for prolonged periods, periodic kidney and liver function tests are often recommended to monitor your child's overall health. Your healthcare provider will determine the frequency of these tests based on individual needs.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Zymox-CV Oral Suspension to my child?

Can I stop giving Zymox-CV Oral Suspension to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While many cases of common cold are caused by viruses, they do not automatically lead to bacterial infections. It is crucial to consult with your child's doctor if you have concerns about a potential bacterial infection.
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 indicate a bacterial infection. It is often normal during viral infections, and symptoms may improve within 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
It is crucial to contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulty, skin rashes), gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, pallor, vomiting). While rare, these can pose serious health risks and require urgent medical care.
