Clavam Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections affecting the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It effectively combats bacteria that have developed resistance to other treatments, making it useful for managing drug-resistant tuberculosis as well.
This medication can be administered to children either with or without food, though taking it with meals is recommended to enhance absorption and reduce stomach discomfort. The prescribed dosage typically ranges from two to three times daily, depending on the infection’s severity, type, and the child’s weight and age. Strict adherence to the prescribed dosage schedule is crucial. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of administration, allow the child to settle before repeating the dose. Never administer a double dose when it’s time for the next scheduled dose.
Potential side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and allergic reactions. These symptoms typically subside on their own, but consult your pediatrician if they persist or cause significant distress.
Provide your doctor with your child’s complete medical history, including any previous allergic reactions, heart conditions, blood disorders, congenital abnormalities, respiratory issues, lung abnormalities, gastrointestinal problems, skin conditions, or liver/kidney dysfunction. This information helps the doctor determine appropriate dosage adjustments and develop an effective treatment plan.
