Amoxyclav Ds Suspension 30ml is given orally.

Amoxyclav Ds Suspension 30ml contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin (200 mg): This ingredient works by stopping the production of bacterial cell walls. Cell walls are crucial for bacteria as they provide shape and protection. Amoxicillin targets these cell walls and disrupts their formation process, leading to bacterial cell death.

• Clavulanic Acid (28.5 mg): Although it doesn't have much antibacterial activity on its own, clavulanic acid plays a vital role in enhancing the effect of amoxicillin. It blocks certain enzymes known as beta-lactamases that are produced by bacteria to resist antibiotics like amoxicillin. By inhibiting these enzymes, clavulanic acid ensures amoxicillin can do its job effectively without being destroyed by these enzymes.

• Store the dry powder at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep it in a tightly closed container to protect it from moisture and air.

• Once mixed with water, keep the suspension in the fridge.

• Use the prepared suspension within 7 days.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before using.

• Ensure your child stays well-hydrated, as this helps flush out the infection-causing bacteria from their body.

• Include vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits in your child's diet, which can boost their immune system and help fight off the bacterial infection.
