Your child’s medicine at a glance
Acuclav
DS 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.
You can give Acuclav DS Syrup
to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as
that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset.
The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine
dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your
child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way
prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of
intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose
if it's the time for the next dose.
Acuclav DS Syrup may cause
vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy. These side
effects should diminish on their own. But, in case they persist or start
bothering your child, you must not delay speaking to your child’s
doctor.
Share your child’s entire medical history with the
doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, blood
disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly,
gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney
malfunction. This information will assist the doctor in making dose
alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
