Starclav Bid Syrup 1*30ML

Starclav Bid 200mg/28.5mg Syrup – Quick Overview for Parents

Starclav Bid 200mg/28.5mg Syrup is an antibiotic specially formulated to help manage bacterial infections in children. It is effective against infections affecting the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. This syrup is also beneficial for treating strains of tuberculosis that may not respond to other treatments.

How to Administer
This syrup can be given with or without food, though giving it with meals can help reduce stomach discomfort and improve absorption. Depending on your child’s condition, the doctor may suggest administering it two or three times a day. The exact dosage will depend on your child’s age, weight, and the type and severity of the infection. If your child vomits within half an hour of taking the medicine, wait until they are calm and then give the same dose again. Avoid doubling the dose if the next scheduled time is near.

Potential Side Effects
Starclav Bid 200mg/28.5mg Syrup is generally well-tolerated by children. Some common, mild side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, or allergic reactions. These usually fade as the body adjusts to the medicine. If side effects persist or cause concern, contact your child’s healthcare provider promptly.

Important Medical Considerations
Share your child’s full medical history with the doctor, including any prior allergies, heart conditions, blood disorders, birth defects, lung or airway issues, gastrointestinal problems, liver or kidney concerns, and skin conditions. This information will help the doctor determine the appropriate dose and plan a safe treatment strategy.

Why It Works
Starclav Bid contains two active components, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin works by preventing bacteria from forming the protective cell wall needed for survival. Clavulanic acid helps block an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria that would otherwise make amoxicillin ineffective. This combination allows the syrup to successfully combat many bacterial infections, including resistant tuberculosis strains.

Benefits for Children
It is effective in treating bacterial infections and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from breakdown by bacterial enzymes, allowing the antibiotic to kill the tuberculosis-causing bacteria efficiently.

Administration Tips
Always follow the doctor’s instructions for dosage and duration. Use the provided measuring cup to ensure accuracy and shake the bottle well before each use. Administer with meals to improve tolerance.

Safety Guidelines

• Kidney: Children with kidney problems should use this medicine carefully. Dose adjustments may be necessary. Neonates and infants require reduced doses due to immature kidney function.

• Liver: Caution is advised for children with liver disease, and regular liver function monitoring may be recommended during treatment.

Missed Dose Instructions
If a dose is missed, give it as soon as possible unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Never double up doses to compensate. Always maintain the prescribed schedule.
