How it works
Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a reaction. However, your child should not be vaccinated before recovering from any illness they may have had. Once your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, your doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's overall well-being while on prolonged treatment.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child?
No, exceeding the recommended dose can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences an increase in symptoms, consult your doctor for a re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Can the use of Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amonate 200mg/28.5mg Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. This antibiotic works by killing harmful bacteria. It can also impact the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach, potentially leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience this. If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration (e.g., less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult your doctor before administering any other medicine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral cold infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. However, it is vital to remember that antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your doctor when a bacterial infection is confirmed.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus naturally thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often resolve within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
In case of serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), you must contact your child's doctor immediately.
