Description
Product Overview
Autobact 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is especially effective against resistant bacterial strains and is commonly prescribed for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which is difficult to treat with standard antibiotics.
The combination of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid works synergistically to overcome bacterial resistance and target infections that might not respond to other treatments. Clavulanic Acid inhibits the enzyme that some bacteria produce to resist amoxicillin, enhancing the effectiveness of the antibiotic.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients
- Amoxycillin (400 mg)
- Clavulanic Acid (57 mg)
How to Use Autobact 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup
To administer Autobact 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Check the label for specific directions on preparing the syrup. Generally, you should dissolve the powder in sterile water, shake well, and then give it to your child. It’s best to administer the medicine with food, as this can help reduce stomach upset and improve absorption.
The exact dosage will depend on your child’s age, weight, and the severity of the infection. The doctor may prescribe the medicine two to three times a day. If your child vomits the dose within 30 minutes of taking it, wait for them to calm down and repeat the dose. Never double the dose if it’s close to the time for the next dose.

How Autobact 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup Works
Autobact 400mg/57mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that combines two active ingredients:
- Amoxycillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic that works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival.
- Clavulanic Acid, which blocks the enzyme beta-lactamase, produced by resistant bacteria, that would otherwise deactivate amoxicillin.
This combination allows Autobact to treat a broad range of bacterial infections, including those caused by resistant bacteria, such as MDR-TB.
