Clamp 80mg/11.4mg Drop

Clamp 80mg/11.4mg Drop is an antibiotic preparation commonly prescribed for children to manage infections caused by harmful bacteria. It is useful in treating conditions that affect the ear, nose, throat, lungs, urinary tract, teeth, skin, and in some cases, joints and bones. Doctors decide the dose based on the child’s age, weight, and the seriousness of the infection.

This medicine is usually given with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. The dosage and frequency should be followed exactly as directed by the doctor. If a dose is missed and the next one is near, the missed amount should not be doubled.

Some children may experience mild effects such as nausea, loose motions, or vomiting. These usually resolve once the body adjusts. If they last longer or seem bothersome, consulting the doctor is advised.

Parents should inform the doctor about the child’s past medical background, including any allergies, blood-related conditions, breathing difficulties, or issues linked to the liver, kidneys, or skin, as these may influence the treatment plan or require dose adjustments.

Uses in Children

• Management of bacterial infections

Benefits for Your Child

Clamp Drop contains amoxicillin along with clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin stops bacteria from growing, while clavulanic acid ensures the antibiotic remains effective by blocking bacterial resistance. The combination helps fight a wide range of infections and supports quicker recovery. Even if your child feels better in a few days, continuing the medicine for the full course ensures the infection does not return and prevents bacteria from becoming resistant.

Possible Side Effects

• Upset stomach

• Loose stools

• Vomiting

• Nausea

These are usually temporary and mild in nature. Medical advice is needed only if they persist or become troublesome.

How to Give the Medicine

• Follow the dosage instructions carefully as advised by the doctor

• Shake well and measure the drops with the provided dropper before giving it to your child

• Best given with food, preferably at the same time each day

Mode of Action

The drop works with the combined effect of its two ingredients. Amoxicillin destroys bacteria by preventing them from forming a protective wall essential for survival. Clavulanic acid strengthens this action by stopping the bacteria from releasing enzymes that make antibiotics less effective. Together, they target the infection more effectively.

Safety Considerations

• Children with kidney or liver issues may need dose changes; always consult the doctor before use

• For severe liver problems, professional guidance is essential before starting treatment

Missed Dose

If you forget to give a dose, administer it as soon as remembered. If the next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed one. Never give two doses at the same time.
