Description

Your Child’s Medicine at a Glance

Ampilox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in children. It is particularly effective against infections in the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. Ampilox CV is also used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), where the bacteria have become resistant to other treatments.

You can give Ampilox CV with or without food, although taking it with food can help improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your child’s age, weight, and the severity of the infection. Typically, the medicine is given two to three times a day. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of taking it, you should repeat the dose, but do not double the dose if it’s time for the next scheduled one.

Common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy. These side effects are generally mild and subside as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause concern, consult your child’s doctor promptly.

Before starting treatment, inform the doctor about your child’s medical history, including any allergies, heart issues, blood disorders, lung conditions, gastrointestinal problems, liver or kidney issues, and any other health concerns. This will help the doctor adjust the dose and plan the treatment effectively.

Benefits of Ampilox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup for Your Child

1. In Treatment of Resistance Tuberculosis (TB): In cases of MDR-TB, the bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase, which makes the bacteria resistant to conventional antibiotics. Ampilox CV combines amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, where clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, making amoxycillin effective against resistant TB bacteria. This combination ensures the treatment can effectively target resistant tuberculosis.

How Ampilox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup Works

Ampilox CV 200 mg/28.5 mg Dry Syrup contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxycillin: This antibiotic works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is crucial for the survival of bacteria.
• Clavulanic Acid: This ingredient prevents beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, from neutralizing amoxycillin. This ensures that amoxycillin remains effective in treating infections caused by resistant bacteria.

Together, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid provide a strong defense against a wide range of bacterial infections, including those that are resistant to other antibiotics.
