Key Points

• What it treats: Bacterial infections (ear, throat, lungs, skin, urinary tract, etc.) and resistant tuberculosis (TB).

• How it works: Combines amoxicillin (kills bacteria) + clavulanic acid (blocks resistance enzymes).

• Dosage: Give with food to reduce stomach upset. Follow the doctor’s prescribed dose (based on weight/age).

• If missed: Give as soon as remembered, but skip if close to the next dose. Never double dose.

• If vomited within 30 mins: Repeat the dose after the child calms down.

Side Effects

Common but usually mild:

• Vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, allergies.

• Contact the doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

Safety Tips

• Kidney/Liver Disease: Use with caution; dose adjustments may be needed.

• Medical History: Inform the doctor of any allergies, organ problems, or past illnesses.

• Finish the Course: Complete the full treatment even if symptoms improve to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Storage

• Shake well before use.

• Measure doses accurately with a cup/spoon.

Always consult your child’s doctor for personalized advice.
