ALMOX CV DRY SYRUP 30ML

Product Introduction:

Almox CV Dry Syrup is a pediatric formulation containing Amoxicillin (200mg/5ml) and Clavulanic Acid (28.5mg/5ml). This combination is commonly prescribed for children to treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class, while Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Together, they work synergistically to combat bacterial infections effectively.

You can give Almox CV Dry 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.

Almox CV Dry 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.

Benefits:

1. Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: Almox CV Dry Syrup is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections in children.
2. Enhanced Efficacy: Clavulanic Acid helps overcome bacterial resistance by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, which can deactivate antibiotics like Amoxicillin.
3. Pediatric Formulation: Almox CV Dry Syrup provides a convenient liquid form that is easy to administer to children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
4. Reduced Risk of Treatment Failure: The combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid reduces the likelihood of treatment failure by targeting both susceptible and resistant bacteria.
