Clavam ES Dry Syrup Orange

Product Overview

Clavam ES Dry Syrup Orange is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, including the lungs (such as pneumonia), ears, nasal sinuses, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. This medicine is ineffective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.

It is recommended to take Clavam ES Dry Syrup Orange with meals to minimize the chance of stomach upset. To maintain consistent levels in your body, take the medication at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage prescribed will depend on the type and severity of your infection. It is important to complete the entire prescribed course, even if you start feeling better earlier, to prevent the infection from returning or worsening.

Common Side Effects

Some patients may experience side effects such as persistent fungal infections (mucocutaneous candidiasis), nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional for advice.

Precautions

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any allergies to antibiotics or if you suffer from liver or kidney issues. Additionally, share a list of any other medications you are currently taking to avoid possible interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication to ensure safety.

Uses

Clavam ES Dry Syrup Orange is primarily used for managing bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections of the ears, sinuses, throat, lungs, urinary tract, skin, teeth, joints, and bones. Patients typically notice improvement within a few days, but continuing the full course is essential to ensure complete eradication of the bacteria and to prevent resistance.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. The common side effects include mucocutaneous candidiasis, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If any side effects persist or cause concern, seek medical guidance.

Directions for Use

Follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider carefully. Shake the syrup well before each use. Administer the medication orally with food using a proper measuring device to ensure the correct dose.

Mechanism of Action

Clavam ES Dry Syrup Orange contains two active ingredients: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid. Amoxycillin is an antibiotic that works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic Acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, protecting Amoxycillin from degradation and enhancing its antibacterial effect.
