Clavam Dry Syrup is given orally.

Clavam Dry Syrup contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin (125 mg): This is a semisynthetic penicillin that interferes with the development of the bacteria's cell walls. A broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to its action.
• Clavulanic Acid (31.25 mg): Unlike amoxicillin, clavulanic acid does not have much antimicrobial activity on its own. Its main job is to prevent bacteria from destroying amoxicillin by neutralising β-lactamase enzymes secreted by some bacteria. This enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin against bacteria normally resistant to this antibiotic.

• Store Clavam Dry Syrup below 25 °C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not refrigerate before reconstitution; after reconstitution, keep it in the fridge.
• Ensure that it is out of the reach and sight of children.
• Use the medicine before its expiry date, as indicated on the packaging.

• If your child is fighting an infection managed by Clavam Dry Syrup, ensure they stay hydrated. Water, clear broths, or warm lemon water with honey help to replace fluids lost due to fever and can soothe a sore throat.
• Nutrient-rich foods can boost the immune system. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and proteins in your child's diet to help their body heal. Avoid sugary drinks and snacks that can lead to inflammation.
