Clamp Suspension for your child’s treatment:

Key Points

• What it treats: Bacterial infections (ear, throat, lungs, skin, urinary tract, etc.) and drug-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 vomited within 30 mins, repeat the dose.

  • Never double dose if a missed dose is close to the next one.

Side Effects

Common but usually mild:

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

• Consult a doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

Safety Tips

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

• Medical History: Inform the doctor of any allergies, liver/kidney problems, or other conditions.

• Missed Dose: Give as soon as remembered, unless close to the next dose.

Why It’s Effective

• Especially useful for resistant infections (like MDR-TB) because clavulanic acid prevents bacteria from deactivating amoxicillin.

Always complete the full course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
