Introduction
Amvulac Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Amvulac 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.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Amvulac Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Amvulac Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Amvulac Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amvulac Dry Syrup?
Amvulac Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting treatment with Amvulac Dry Syrup. Also, consult with their doctor before administering any additional medication.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amvulac Dry Syrup?
Most antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from the illness. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amvulac Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure their condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amvulac Dry Syrup to my child?
No, administering a higher dose of Amvulac Dry Syrup can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult with their doctor for further evaluation.
Can I stop giving Amvulac Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course of medication has been completed, even if symptoms improve beforehand. Continue administering the medicine as directed to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
Can the use of Amvulac Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amvulac Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If diarrhea occurs, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult with a doctor if symptoms persist and signs of dehydration are present.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral infections do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Only use antibiotics after consulting with your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, thickened and colored mucus is normal, often lasting 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are severe and require prompt expert attention.
