CLAVAM DRY SYRUP 30 ML

How CLAVAM DRY SYRUP 30 ML Works

• CLAVAM Dry Syrup 30 ML is a powerful antibiotic combination containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium. It is highly effective in combating a wide range of bacterial infections in children. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-like antibiotic, functions by interfering with the bacteria's ability to form cell walls. Bacteria need these walls to protect themselves and to survive. Amoxicillin specifically inhibits the enzymes responsible for building these cell walls, leading to weakened and unstable structures. As a result, the bacterial cells rupture and die, effectively clearing the infection.
• However, some bacteria develop resistance to Amoxicillin by producing an enzyme called beta-lactamase. This enzyme breaks down Amoxicillin, rendering it ineffective. This is where Clavulanate Potassium plays a crucial role. Clavulanate Potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It binds to the beta-lactamase enzyme, preventing it from breaking down Amoxicillin. By neutralizing the beta-lactamase, Clavulanate Potassium allows Amoxicillin to reach its target – the bacterial cell walls – and effectively destroy the bacteria.
• The synergistic action of Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium in CLAVAM Dry Syrup ensures a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity. This combination is effective against many bacteria that are resistant to Amoxicillin alone. This makes CLAVAM Dry Syrup a valuable treatment option for common childhood infections such as ear infections (otitis media), pneumonia, sinusitis, bronchitis, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. By disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis and overcoming antibiotic resistance mechanisms, CLAVAM Dry Syrup effectively eliminates bacterial infections, helping children recover quickly and comfortably.
• In summary, Amoxicillin directly attacks the bacteria's cell walls, while Clavulanate Potassium protects Amoxicillin from being destroyed by bacterial enzymes. This dual mechanism of action makes CLAVAM Dry Syrup a potent and reliable weapon against bacterial infections in children.

Typically, the duration is 5-10 days, but follow your doctor's instructions precisely.
• Always shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is evenly distributed. Use a calibrated measuring device (like a syringe or dropper) to accurately measure the prescribed dose. Avoid using household spoons, as they may not provide an accurate measurement.
• Clavam Dry Syrup should ideally be given at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day, as directed by your doctor, typically every 8 or 12 hours. Giving it at the same times each day helps maintain a consistent level of medication in the body for optimal effectiveness. If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as you remember, but if it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
• This medication is most effective when taken with food. Giving Clavam Dry Syrup with food helps to minimize potential stomach upset and improves absorption of the medicine. If your child experiences nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, consult your doctor. Probiotics may be recommended to help restore the balance of gut bacteria disrupted by the antibiotic.
• Store Clavam Dry Syrup in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once the syrup is prepared (reconstituted), it typically needs to be stored in the refrigerator and used within 7 days. Always check the product label for specific storage instructions and discard any unused portion after the recommended period. Keep out of reach of children.

• CLAVAM DRY SYRUP 30 ML can be taken with or without food. However, it is best to take it with food to minimize stomach upset. If stomach upset occurs, taking it with a meal or snack may help.
