Clavam Syrup is used to treat bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the ear, nose, throat, skin, bones, joints, urinary tract, and respiratory system. It combines amoxicillin and clavulanic acid to combat a broad range of bacterial pathogens. This medication is ineffective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
It is an antibiotic medication that combines two active ingredients, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin stops the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell death. Clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, prevents the inactivation of amoxicillin by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. This allows amoxicillin to kill the bacteria and treat the infection effectively.
Before starting Clavam Dry Syrup, the doctor must know the patient's medical history, allergies, and how they have reacted to antibiotics. The doctor will decide how much medicine to give and how long to take it based on the patient's age, weight, the chance of side effects, and the specific infection. This helps ensure the medicine works well and is safe for the patient.
