CLAVAM – SYP

Description

Clavam Syrup is an oral suspension designed for pediatric use. It combines two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin: A broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.

• Clavulanic Acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from degradation by certain bacterial enzymes, enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.

Indications:

Clavam Syrup is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in children, including:

• Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)

• Middle ear infections (otitis media)

• Sinus infections (sinusitis)

• Urinary tract infections

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Bone and joint infections

Dosage and Administration:

• Dosage: The exact dosage is determined by the pediatrician based on the child’s age, weight, and the severity of the infection.

• Administration:

  • Shake the bottle well before each use.

  • Use the provided measuring device to administer the correct dose.

  • It’s advisable to give the medication with food to reduce potential stomach upset.

  • Complete the full course of treatment, even if the child feels better before finishing the medication, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Skin rash

Most side effects are mild and resolve on their own. However, if any severe reactions occur, such as persistent diarrhea, allergic reactions, or unusual symptoms, consult a healthcare professional promptly.

Precautions:

• Inform the doctor if the child has a history of liver disease, kidney problems, or allergies to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.

• Use with caution in children with mononucleosis, as they may be more prone to skin rashes when taking amoxicillin.

• Ensure the child stays hydrated, especially if experiencing diarrhea.
